About

I’ll show you how to consistently write entertaining and authentic personal stories.

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; which led me to a decade-long journey. The stories, ideas and hacks in my newsletter and courses are the result of that journey.

I share them so they will help you tell YOUR STORY!

I am the writer behind the traditionally published column “We Have a Real Problem!” and the storytelling newsletter “The Story Frame."

I write humorous essays about growing up in Colombia during its most violent years, being married to an amazing human being, and almost gently parenting my two incredible daughters in the San Francisco Bay area.

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.
