I remember it vividly...

"There I stood—nervous and curious—during the introductory class at the Youth Theatre School. As a teenager, I portrayed Maria from the musical West Side Story. I gave my version of Maria her own voice, accent, and posture. It felt scary, awkward, uncertain... but with determination, I embodied the character just as I had imagined her in that moment. The group began to laugh, the teacher smiled along. Yes! My Latina accent landed. The freedom to shape a character in my own way already felt like a magical experience I’d never forget."

For a while, my artistic passion felt like a lost love. Unconsciously, I drifted away from it—but it never let go of me. After years of working with people, including as a Soft Skills Trainer and Coach, I intuitively found my way back to creative expression. That return now brings deeper connection to my acting, voice work, and the trainings I offer.

I shape storytelling that resonates. The more complex, the better. The more challenging, the more fulfilling. Often through speech, song, or sometimes silence—but always in service of the story. Carried by life experience, fueled and inspired by genuine connection.

For me, it’s always a beautiful challenge to bring a character to life that feels authentic on every level.

Let me know if you'd like to take on that challenge with me.
