About Me

My mission is to connect people within organisations to each other and their customers.  I work with leadership teams, from the frontline to executive, to build collaborative, curious and optimistic mindsets that result in high-performing organisations that keep the customer at the heart of what they do.

My love of travel and putting myself in the growth zone means that I’ve had the opportunity to live and work in several different countries over my 20+ year career. Starting out as a Peace Corps volunteer straight out of university meant throwing myself in the deep end both culturally and professionally.

And, it has paid off ever since as this sparked my passion for facilitating the possible in individuals and teams during my two-year posting leading teacher trainings in rural Thailand.

My experience in leading culture, transformation, and leadership programmes spans multiple industries, giving me depth of insight and experience that I share with my clients.

I bring a combination of warmth, humour and assertiveness with the aim being to create an impactful and memorable experience that will bring about sustainable change, fostering deep connection and understanding for your leaders.

I believe that work can, and should, be an experience that adds meaning to our full lives.  What makes work meaningful to me is:

  • Working collaboratively, in partnership with my clients and my team
  • Having my expertise valued and recognised
  • Working in an environment that fosters connection, trust and relatedness
  • Contributing to meaningful projects and having the opportunity to add value
  • Demonstrating and experiencing authentic leadership
  • Receiving and offering constructive feedback with a focus on encouragement and improvement

I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend.  I am Colombian-born, American-raised, and hold Australian citizenship, however my heart and home is in Aotearoa.  I am a reader, traveller and beach and bush walker.

Talk to me today about how I can partner with you to build authentic, resilient, change-ready leaders.

My Values

My values are my north star, guiding how I think, feel and behave for myself, for family and friends, and for my customers.  They are both who I am now, and who I seek to become.

Vim & Vigour

Vim and vigour is the spark needed to bring about change.  It sets things in motion and creates momentum.  Its energy is contagious.  I bring vim and vigour to all that I do, and ignite it in your people to build authentic, resilient, change-ready leaders who in turn spark it for others.

Passion for Progress

Every day we make choices that, over time, become our habits and lead to the results we get.  My passion for lifelong learning means being right alongside you in the discomfort of the growth zone, offering the right balance of challenge and encouragement, because this is where the magic happens.

Built on Connection

Connection and belonging is at the heart of everything I do, and I seek to work with organisations who extend this to their customers, their people, and their partners.  I am on your team, working with you, not for you.  You can call me Employee #801.

Collaboration is Queen

We are unstoppable together.  I bring experience and wisdom in my field, but you know your people and your business best.  In a partnership based on trust, openness, and curiosity, we get aligned on what will be different because of the great work we do together and the path we’ll take to get there, learning from each other as we go.
