About Me
I’m a former Big Law lawyer and corporate executive, an award-winning executive & High Performance™️ coach, leadership strategist, author of the 2x award winning and bestselling book Your Time to Rise: Unlearn Limiting Beliefs, Unlock Your Power and Unleash Your Truest Self, keynote speaker, and host of the Humble Rising podcast.
After nearly two decades in law, business, and leadership, I've learned that success isn't just about reaching the next milestone. It's about building a career and a life that are both meaningful and sustainable. That's the work I help my clients do every day.
That belief shapes everything I do, whether I'm coaching lawyers, partnering with law firms, or speaking to leaders around the world.
My path has taken me from Big Law to corporate leadership, from leading global litigation and compliance to overseeing employee relations and leadership development in a fast-paced biotech company. Those experiences gave me a firsthand understanding of what it takes to lead in demanding environments, and why success is most rewarding when it's aligned with your values and sustainable over the long term.
Today, I work with leaders and lawyers, as well as the leaders organizations that invest in their growth. Through executive coaching, leadership development, keynote speaking, and strategic advising, I help leaders navigate complexity, make intentional decisions, and build careers—and organizations—that are successful, meaningful, and sustainable.
Whether I'm coaching an executive, facilitating a leadership workshop, or speaking from the stage, I'm driven by a simple belief: when people lead with greater intention, courage, and self-awareness, they make better decisions, build stronger teams, and create more meaningful, sustainable success. I also believe work can be deeply fulfilling—even in demanding, high-pressure environments.
My work has been featured in Oprah Daily, Forbes, Success Magazine, and Boston Business Journal. I’ve received numerous awards throughout my career, including being named a Top 10 Leading Speaker by Microsoft Network MSN, receiving the IBPA Silver Book Award and PenCraft Book Award for my bestselling book Your Time To Rise. In 2025, I was also honored with the Latina Trailblazer Award from the National Hispanic Bar Association Region II in 2025.
I graduated magna cum laude from Boston College, cum laude from Boston College Law School, and received an honorary Doctorate of Laws from Boston College in 2022. In addition to my career at two large law firms and as a corporate executive, I taught Business Law at the Boston College Carroll School of Management for several years, and served as a judicial law clerk at the Federal District Court in Massachusetts and on the First Circuit.
I am a proud Latina, daughter of Dominican immigrant parents and mother of three children.
