I'm a leadership and learning strategist who helps people navigate complex systems that weren't built with them in mind. For 17 years in corporate Human Resources, I worked alongside C-Suite leaders to lead organizational change and build the frameworks that sustained departments and helped employees move through their careers. Today I do the same essential work as a doctoral researcher at Arizona State University's. My research spans across two domains: media literacy education and Latina leadership, and my research on artificial intelligence and critical media literacy was published in the Journal of Media Literacy Education.

I explore how emerging tools can strengthen independent thinking rather than erode it, as well as ongoing research on Latina leadership in corporate America and Mexico. 

As a first-generation, bilingual Latina educated in Mexico and the United States, I've spent my life translating between worlds, and my work keeps returning to the same purpose: putting the tools usually reserved for insiders into the hands of the people who've been left outside them. 

I bring an executive's strategic mindset and a mentor's commitment to the people inside the system, partnering with organizations that care about helping people live successfully, lead authentically, and move through structures that weren't designed with them in mind.
