I Coach From Inside this Work
I serve as Vice President of Marketing & Communications inside a large public healthcare system in Austin, a publicly accountable organization where leadership means navigating political complexity, stewarding public trust, and making consequential decisions with incomplete information.
Over time, I’ve seen that the hardest leadership challenges are rarely about strategy alone. They’re about how leaders perceive, respond, and relate under pressure, both individually and collectively.
My work focuses on strengthening that capacity, both in how leaders lead themselves and how they show up within the systems they’re part of.
My practice is grounded in Presence-Based Coaching©, informed by a systems thinking lens and an Executive MBA from Baylor University.
I also bring a bicultural perspective to this work. 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.
That experience shapes how I hold space for leaders of color, bicultural and bilingual professionals, queer leaders, and anyone who has learned to lead while carrying something the organization never acknowledged.
