Meet your coach

Rooted in both my Black and Costa Rican-American upbringings, embracing both pura vida and making the most of what you've got mentalities, I believe most of us, regardless of our backgrounds, have sustainable, intentional living habits deeply ingrained... and our culture has just lost sight of some of those basic principles in recent decades. Time to go back to those roots!

My Experience

7 years as Co-Founder & Showrunner of Way of Being. MBA and a graduate certificate in Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship. 10 years of low-waste living and 15 years prioritizing conscious consumerism and nontoxic living. TEDx Speaker: Sustainable Living and the Power of Everyday Actions. 3 years as Instructor at Portland State University teaching Essentials of Entrepreneurship, Business Environment, Social Responsibility in Business, and Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Development. 

My Motto

Everything on this planet is interconnected, so what each of us does matters."What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." -Jane Goodall. We don't all have to do everything, but everyone can do something.

My Philosophy

20-30% of the total emissions reductions needed to avoid the most dire climate change can be achieved at the individual and household level. Not only do our actions actually matter, but it's way too big an opportunity to pass up. The great news is that these same actions also benefit our physical and mental health and help make our communities more resilient. If we can do all of that with small, everyday habits that can be easily incorporated into your lifestyle, why not?? 

My Approach

We all have different demands, responsibilities, preferences, styles, attachments, cultures, and other lifestyle factors, and there is no such thing as perfection. My job is to come to you, judgment-free (I'm not perfect either), and be a resource to guide you to a way of being that truly feels good and aligned with your values. Whether you're trying to make sustainable living your full-time job or you've already got more than enough of those, I'll work with where you are now to create options that will be easy to implement into your unique lifestyle and will challenge you in only the ways you genuinely have an appetite for.
