I Coach From Inside this Work
I serve as Vice President of Marketing & Communications inside a large public healthcare system in Austin, where leadership often means navigating complexity, ambiguity, public accountability, and sustained pressure.
Over time, I’ve seen that the hardest leadership challenges are rarely about strategy alone. They’re relational, internal, and human. They involve how we relate to ourselves under pressure; and how those patterns shape the way we lead, communicate, connect, and make decisions.
My coaching practice is grounded in Presence-Based Coaching®, a developmental and somatic methodology created by Doug Silsbee that integrates mindfulness, embodiment, and adult development.
I bring to this work a systems-thinking lens, an Executive MBA from Baylor University, and lived experience navigating leadership inside complex institutional environments.
I’m currently working toward ICF (International Coaching Federation) credentialing.
I hold space for leaders of color, bicultural and bilingual professionals, queer leaders, and people who have learned to lead while carrying something the organization does not acknowledge.
I bring to this work a bicultural perspective rooted in lived experience. As a gay Latino leader who has navigated institutional environments not always built with people like me in mind, I understand the particular weight that comes with leading inside cultures where belonging has to be negotiated alongside competence.
The Work Begins With a Conversation
