I'm a marketer, world traveler, singer, sailor, and scuba diver. I have spent more than two decades helping companies tell their stories, reach their audiences, and grow. Through my consulting work at Portal Creative Marketing, I bring clarity, strategy, and purpose-driven storytelling to teams and mission-focused organizations that deserve to be heard.

​

Outside the corporate world, I have explored underwater destinations around the globe, finding calm and connection through scuba diving, sailing, movement, and culture. Portal Mindful Retreats is the natural extension of that journey—a way to share the grounding, restorative experiences that have supported me through a demanding career and a busy creative life.

​

As your host and adventure curator, I offer you a blend of expertise, warmth, and down-to-earth care. I'm also fluent in Spanish and deeply passionate about creating meaningful travel experiences that help people slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves.

As Operating Partner at C4ventures, I have helped companies gain market traction and boost their brand presence on a global stage. I've led teams at some of the most recognized consumer product brands, and advised portfolio companies on go-to-market strategy and implementation. I also help busy executives become their own mindful mentors. 

​

But inner peace is not a side hustle. My rollercoaster journey and recovery from burnout in Silicon Valley inspired me to help others learn about yoga as an antidote to the stress in our work and daily lives. Yoga is for everybody. I teach Power Vinyasa, Vinyasa flow, YinYasa yoga, Yin, and Restorative yoga.

​

Before and after a day of diving, I'll guide you with gentle sequences designed to stretch, restore, and calm the body, helping you settle into a deeper sense of ease. Your only job will be to unwind, reconnect, and experience the balance that comes from moving with intention — both on the mat and underwater.
