Your career is your playground. Welcome to mine.
You may have heard about portfolio careers… but this goes beyond something to pitch. Your career serves as a mirror and a container for your personal exploration. This approach can be daunting. It is full of uncertainty. But it results in something uniquely yours.
It is your own path to craft through strategic thinking, creativity, and self-exploration.
Welcome to my professional playground.
May it be the permission slip you were looking for to build your own.

My own playground is shaped by my process of becoming.
I know what it is like to be the good student, the accomplished professional, the first (and the only) across spaces, the one that can go far. I know what it feels like when you are deemed too much, too scattered, or too odd. I know how feeling misunderstood, not seen, or judged as out of place can impact you. I also know what it feels like when reaching milestones and accolades no longer feel right, and the results are not what one would hope for. I learned it myself, and decided to make every win of mine a resource for all of us.
I have been a first-generation college graduate in Argentina, an international student across countries, a researcher, a coach and mentor, and an entrepreneur. I have also been a dancer, a theater performer, a poet, and a podcaster. Each experience has meant a transformation, a reinvention, and the grief and doubt associated with change. These experiences are the foundation of everything I do today at the intersection of research, coaching, creative practice, and community, inspiring and supporting professionals across industries and countries in building careers that actually reflect who they are, and institutions in building systems that truly support them.
Four playground corners, one presence.
Each of these corners represents one pillar of my work and career, spanning from strategic consulting to creative work. Each of them stands on its own, with its own logic, its own community, its own way of showing up. All of them are me, and I bring all of them into every room.
