And I’m on a mission to inspire, encourage, and teach women like you to design their own versions of success.

I’m a sassy, nerdy, first-generation Dominican-American entrepreneur based in NYC (originally from Washington Heights, baby!), and I’m here to equip modern women with the mindset shifts and the systems they need to thrive in life and business in this noisy, messy, distraction-filled world.

From the time I was little, I knew I wanted to be an actress, a singer, and a person who helps people.

I’ve always been obsessed with creativity and freedom.

My dad was murdered when I was 9 years old, and his killer fled the country. I’ve always had this strong desire to succeed and overcome any obstacles that came my way, but obviously, losing my dad stuck with me.

In 2000, I graduated from NYU with a degree in Political Science and Latin American Studies. By 2005, I was recording albums, going on auditions, and acting in commercials. Still, I felt an intense drive to find justice for my father.

After spending  25 years waiting for “someone” to do something — including turning to police and media for help and getting nowhere — I decided to take it upon myself to get justice for my dad. “I’m just gonna freakin’ do it,” I decided.

So I did — I tracked down the man who killed my father, and in 2014, he was finally arrested. I know I have my love for personal development to thank, because without it, I would never have been brave or confident enough to embark on that journey. 

Meanwhile, I’d built the career I wanted and I was happy with my accomplishments. I recorded a Latin pop album, appeared in commercials and print ads for brands like HBO and McDonalds, worked as a stand-in for A-list actresses, and was quickly eligible to enroll in SAG-AFTRA (a big deal in the performing arts world!). I was even celebrated as one of Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Fun Fearless Females for the work I did surrounding my dad’s case.

But still, I kept feeling like life was passing me by. 

Working as an actor meant I was always waiting for the next casting call or audition. I felt like I never had any real control over my life or my work. Then, while on-set, I’d usually be working 12 – 14 hours a day, meaning I never had enough time to work on the goals that meant the most to me.

I knew I was destined for more.

I thought back to my dad and how the story of my quest for justice made a difference — and made headlines around the world. I hadn’t had to wait for anyone. So why was I still spending my life waiting for those “someones” and “somethings”?
