Speaking Engagements

I speak to first-gen Latina/Latinx leaders, founders, and therapists about the challenges of burnout, boundaries, and self-advocacy. My signature talks blend storytelling, neuroscience, and cultural awareness to help audiences reclaim confidence, prevent burnout, and turn setbacks into strategies.

Perfect for conferences, leadership summits, and organizations seeking fresh, relevant perspectives on resilience and leadership.

First-Gen Latina Leadership & Self-Advocacy

First-gen leaders are often told to be grateful, quiet, or low-maintenance — but real leadership requires taking up space. In this talk, I teach how to claim authority, use storytelling to build influence, and make courageous asks that open doors for yourself and your community.

Mental Health & Resilience for First-Gen Therapists & Entrepreneurs

Carrying the dual weight of representation and responsibility can lead to burnout fast. This talk blends ADHD-aware, trauma-informed tools with practical strategies for boundaries, confidence, and sustainable leadership, so first-gen professionals can thrive without sacrificing themselves.

First-Gen Confidence: From Setback to Strategy

In a world where rejection feels personal, first-gen leaders need new ways to see failure as momentum. This talk introduces brave conversations, small experiments, and my “rejection review” framework to help audiences turn “no” into growth, resilience, and long-term success.

I’ve partnered with mission-driven companies and organizations to lead conversations on mental health, identity, and collective healing.
