Big dreams, little steps.
Let's do this!
English, Spanish & French speaking.
A proud Canadian citizen with deep connections to various cultural influences, I hail from Argentina, adding to my global footprint with extended stays in Brazil, France, Spain, and Poland. My formal educational journey spans Business Marketing, Mental Health for Youths, and diverse Meditation practices from Eastern + Western approaches. I have a relentless inquisitive nature to explore and embrace the human condition.
As a big dreamer who moves forward in small steps, my professional journey started in print marketing and sales, eventually finding myself at a distinguished Toronto Ad agency in the 90's. There, I planned and executed multi-million dollar media campaigns for clients like Canadian Imperial Bank of Canada (CIBC), Suzuki Motors, and The National Ballet of Canada. Despite early success, the stress of the advertising industry's low-conscious culture compelled me to cease old expectations and pivot into new goals. Upon a dedicated multi year long therapy filled growth spurt. I emerged as a freelance marketer and technical writer for those I encountered and resonated with. Delightfully infusing purpose, meaning, and responsibility into my new way of working, thinking and being. Delving into the realm of alternative therapies and holistic wellness, I dedicated myself to researching and advocating mental health options beyond conventional norms.
With over 13 curated websites, 1000's of produced marketing assets (social media and some!) along with event marketing of 20+ promotional events. I possess an understanding on how to nurture small start-ups and help them effectively communicate niche messages to target audiences. 25+ years elevating small businesses and self-employed individuals has taught me a few things of use for those of interest.

In the early stages of the pandemic, I opened SIÉNTATE (sit down in Spanish), an innovative pop-up marketing boutique in Toronto's west end, offering various well-researched wellness products tailored to mental health.

Embracing the simplicity and charm of country living, I prioritize cherished visits from my adult children, Mya, Nolan and his partner Diana. I am currently crafting my series of Connection through Conversation books and live app which includes "Bed Time Share-Time". A guided Q&A for bedtime fun. Discover more by clicking here. I am also fascinated by AI and learning prompting and how to use this new tool that has and will continue to transform this "world" experience.
My core mission is to inspire, those with interest, positive progressive actions and flourish towards personalized success.
I am rooted in integrity, transparency, and above all, sincerity.
