My teaching focuses on three things.
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.

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.
Take the classHi! 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.
