I am an award-winning essayist, columnist, and monologuist, laughing at my topsy-turvy upbringing in Colombia, the immigrant experience in California, and fumbling through ‘gentle-parenting’ my two amazing daughters!

 I am the writer behind the traditionally published opinion column “We Have a Real Problem!”, the storytelling newsletter “The Story Frame,” and the cultural newsletter “Unequivocally Ambiguous.”

I dropped out of engineering school in my fourth year, moved to the United States, and graduated cum laude from San Diego State University’s School of Communication.

Through college, I competed regionally and nationally in Impromptu Speaking, Entertainment Speeches, and Policy Debates.

Take a class

This class is a great way to develop a consistent practice around writing and storytelling.

The Story of My Life

This class offers a mix of bite-sized videos (5 mins) and simple exercises to help you develop your memoir practice.

5 minutes a day for five days is the only thing separating you from a memoir practice.

 Hi! I’m Carlos, a writing and storytelling coach.  

 

I love telling stories and helping others do the same.  

 

But up until my thirties, I struggled to reconcile my identity as a writer with the fact that I had not written a single word in my life.

I decided to change that and embarked on a decade-long journey.

The ideas, hacks, and tricks I share in my newsletter and courses are the result of a decade-long, transformative journey. These will help you write, perform, and share (with ease!) the stories you love to tell.
