I'm a writer currently working on a memoir and mother raising two young children. My first book, Break the Good Girl Myth (HarperOne, 2020), was featured in the New York Times and Marie Claire UK.

I believe in the heroine's journey rooted in myths of goddesses like Persephone, Inanna, and Isis—ancient stories of alchemizing pain into sovereignty. These teachings became deeply personal after I lost my beloved husband to cancer very quickly and unexpectedly (only three months after diagnosis) while pregnant with our second child. I gave birth to our daughter shortly after he passed, gaining an embodied experience of the death-life cycle that surrounds us everywhere. If you’re reading this, you’re catching me in a profound moment of transformation – a complete re-structuring of my life, future, faith, and identity. But I’m still here.

My work draws from design, feminism, mythology, poetry, mindfulness, my Latin American heritage, and the natural world—braiding together the mystical and the mundane. I hold degrees from Stanford and McGill University, and live in California. 

I look forward to sharing my writing with you again, when the time is just right.
