Navigate Career Transitions: Your Story Is Your Edge
SESSION 1 — The Treasure Hunt We go through your treasures together and find the story only you can tell — the one that connects the dots across your career and points them toward your next chapter. SESSION 2 — Your Narrative, Inside and Out We workshop your story— how you pitch it to recruiters, hiring managers, and your network. SESSION 3 — Interview Training We rehearse for your interviews — warming up, building confidence, stress-testing your answers. You bring a real role, a real company, a real situation. We drill it until it feels like yours. SESSION 4 — The Bold Outreach Playbook Who to contact, how to message them, how to go high and go bold. We build your outreach strategy together — the ideas for contacts, angles, intersections between your story and theirs. You leave with a framework and the confidence to execute it. Your next chapter is waiting. Let's find the story that opens the door.
What's included
I coach from experience, not theory. I have worked at leadership levels of Big Tech — at Google and Instagram — and I know firsthand what it means to navigate a career transition. I have been through it myself. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what it actually feels like to be in transition: the uncertainty, the identity shift, and the incredible opportunity that lives inside it. After Instagram, I joined a branding company working exclusively with startups, giving me deep experience in the VC and startup ecosystem. I have also coached hundreds of professionals through career transitions, including a community of laid-off tech workers. My methodology — the Treasure Hunt — is a proprietary framework I developed to surface the story only you can tell. My sessions are collaborative, high-energy, and built around your real situation. You will leave each one with clarity, momentum, and something concrete to act on. I look forward to working with you through this chapter.

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.
