My story

A life of learning.
A way of seeing.

My work didn’t come from one place, one practice, or one title. It grew through years of study—and through discovering what those ideas meant in real life.

The journey

Different worlds.
All part of the work.

Colombia

It started with communication.

I began my career in advertising in Colombia, learning how ideas, language, and stories can shape the way we see the world.

Nepal

I stepped into a very different world.

I moved to Nepal to study Buddhist philosophy. What began in the classroom became part of everyday life—living, studying, and practicing in a culture very different from the one I knew.

Coaching

I needed another language.

While studying in Nepal, I began looking for a way to bring what I was learning into conversations with people who didn’t live and breathe Buddhism. Between semesters, I studied life coaching—and found a language that could meet people in a very different world.

Thailand & Southeast Asia

Then I began putting it together.

In Thailand, these different worlds started coming together in my work with people—coaching, meditation, and Buddhist teachings meeting the decisions, relationships, and changes they were actually living. My work in Southeast Asia also expanded into teaching and international presentations, including Malaysia.

Then the rooms changed.

The work took me into very different rooms—from companies and nonprofits to community programs and reentry environments. CALM MIND became an important part of how I worked across these very different settings, adapting to the people and realities in each room.

Stages, media & film

The conversation kept expanding.

Speaking, teaching, television, producing, and acting became new ways to bring these conversations to larger audiences—from community rooms to major stages and film.

Today

All of those worlds come with me.

Today, whether I’m sitting with one person, speaking to an audience, or working with an organization, I bring these different experiences into the room.

For me, perspective only matters when it meets real life.
