About Me
My family
I was blessed with the opportunity to live and work around the world before settling down in Modesto. Born in Honduras, I spent my childhood traveling between there, the United States and Costa Rica. After finishing college, I worked in France for a US-based real estate company; and after finishing business school I spent time advising a non-profit organization in South Africa. Once in Modesto, I expanded my skills and experiences in Finance, Operations, Strategic Planning & Human Resources. Before starting my own consulting business, I honed my perspective and skills at a local manufacturing company led by Central American owners with a predominantly Spanish-speaking workforce. The result of these diverse yet functionally deep experiences is a unique perspective on how strategic planning can help your business and the ability to partner with you as your team makes improvements and executes the strategic plan.
