Thank you for visiting my website! Here’s a little about me:

​

I was born in Cuba and raised in New York City from the age of one. I've always had a deep passion for learning about different cultures and languages.

​

My career began in international trade at The World Trade Center. Later, I shifted my focus to family life, becoming a full-time mom for 20 years.

​

After facing challenges in my own life and experiencing the transformative power of coaching, I reinvented myself. In 2009, I became a Certified Life and Relationship Coach and founded Dare to Be Authentic Coaching™ to help others on their journeys.

​

I had been writing for several years when, in 2012, I self-published my first book, Diary of a Hopeless Romantic. Becoming a published author was an incredible feeling, and I was overwhelmed by the support from my clients, friends, and family at my first book signing.

 

In 2013, I was invited by a radio station in L.A. to host my own show, which led me to create the Dare to Be Authentic radio show which I've newly converted to Dare to be Authentic Podcast.

​

Later that year, I was inspired to launch a book project featuring guests from my show as contributing authors. This vision became reality in February 2014 when I published Dare to Be Authentic – Finding Your Authentic Self, the first in a series of collaborative books. Around the same time, I founded my publishing company and began coaching writers.

​

Today, I live in Southern California, enjoying a life filled with love, laughter, family, and friends. As a mother of three grown children and a grandmother of seven, I find deep fulfillment in helping others create their best lives.
