Find the Story That Gets You Hired
You are the star of your story — and that comes with a responsibility to own your career. You are the Director. The Producer. The Protagonist. My passion is helping you find the story only you can tell — the one that connects the dots across your life's experiences and points them toward the next chapter. The story that builds toward growth, reinvention, and the role you're ready for. Whether you're planning your next move or navigating a layoff, the hardest part is rarely the résumé. It's the story. What's your narrative? Why this role, this company, this chapter? I help senior operators and executives find the story that gets them hired — one that sounds like them, holds up under pressure, and wins the room. I use the same techniques that got me through high-stakes interviews and deals as a leader at Google and Instagram, and the same techniques I now teach Fortune 500 leaders across industries. What we do together: Before we start, you receive a Treasure Hunting pre-work packet — a set of questions designed to surface the moments, wins, and turning points that make your career story distinct. You arrive to Session 1 already inspired and mid-discovery. Session 1 — Treasure Hunt. We go through your treasures together and kick off the story makeover. Treasure Hunting is my proprietary method for finding the story only you can tell. Session 2 — Your Narrative, Inside and Out. We shape two versions of your story: the internal one (how you understand your own arc) and the external one (how you pitch it to recruiters, hiring managers, and your network). Session 3 — Interview Training I. We rehearse for your first interviews — warming up, building confidence, stress-testing your answers. Session 4 — Interview Training II. Higher-stakes rehearsal. We drill the rooms that matter most — final rounds, executive panels, the offers on the line.
What's included
As a former leader at Google, Instagram, and other high-growth companies, I know firsthand how much career moments matter — and how the hardest ones are often the ones that define us. I'm passionate about coaching people through their next chapter because I believe these are the moments where we actually get to bring our best and level up. I'm currently working with clients from the Block and Meta communities navigating layoffs, as well as people across tech who are preparing for a shifting landscape and know that their story is a real competitive advantage. I've also been in your shoes. I was impacted by a company-wide layoff at Instagram, which means when I coach you through this, I'm not coaching from theory. I coach from experience — with deep empathy, a clear eye on what's actually working in the market, and the genuine belief that there's a lot of sunshine on the other side.

Career Pivots & Inflection Points | Storytelling Coach | Google, X, Meta
Instagram’s first hire in Latin America and ex-Google, I help students and professionals land top roles by turning their story into their greatest competitive advantage. I was the first in my family to navigate the American college system — from Colorado Springs to top Silicon Valley companies — and I never stopped betting on what's possible. It's what pushed me from Bank of New York to Google Brazil in the early days, then to Instagram as their first hire in Latin America, where I helped scale @instagrambrasil to 16M+ followers. I learned that your story is your greatest competitive advantage — and that most people undersell theirs. In 2020, I founded Speak Dreams and launched a mentorship program that received 627 applications. I read every single one. I interviewed 77 finalists and matched 84 women with mentors across cultures and countries — all in 47 days. It was rated 9.9 out of 10 for positive life impact. Now I coach top leaders from Google, Meta, Waze, Cargill, and Brazil's Paralympic Committee on how to access and articulate the stories only they can tell — for interviews, leadership moments, and career pivots. I'm also a pop artist (yes, really) and the creator of Chloé & Valentina, an audio fiction series featuring a Grammy-winning producer, Oscar-nominated sound designer, Emmy-winning writer, and acclaimed lead actress. It landed an Apple Podcasts Editorial Spotlight and coverage in Harper's Bazaar Brasil, Vogue, and Glamour. I bring that same creative rigor to our sessions: your story deserves more than a template. If you're ready to stop underselling yourself, let's talk.
