IChile · Volunteer teacher

It started in a classroom.

I volunteered as a teacher in Chile, and teaching became the foundation for everything after it. It's where I learned that people grow when someone believes in them. My teaching later earned international recognition.

Building the engine behind the startup.

In tech, I lead operations for fast-moving startups: shaping culture, running the systems teams depend on, and building the partnerships that help a company grow across the region.

Books that teach children to feel.

I write and publish children's books that help young readers name their feelings, express and manage them in healthy ways, and build a strong EQ for life.

What's next

Now I'm building a children's EQ media universe.

Every chapter so far has been about helping people grow. The next one is a world of characters and stories that helps children everywhere understand their feelings and grow with confidence.

Let's talk.

Open to conversations about operations, growth, publishing and media.
