I’m a content creator, journalist, speaker, podcast host & mom who’s all about sharing life’s real moments.
I’m also a former news anchor, bachata-dancing Pilates enthusiast, iced coffee connoisseur, and that good girlfriend who always puts you on to her favorite products.
But that’s not all. Far from it, actually. I believe that everyone has value and the power to make a difference—in their own lives, and the lives of others. I want to help you embrace your path, celebrate your wins, and recognize your true worth.
Authentic. Amusing. Informative.
I’ve had quite the journey, and I’m here to share the lessons I’ve learned along the way. I’m incredibly passionate about empowering others to switch it up, one story at a time.
Making Good News
Giving back is a huge part of my life. I’m especially passionate about supporting education, providing basic necessities to those in need, and partnering with organizations to promote change locally and abroad.
