I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, and have lived in Zionsville, IN, for over 25 years. My husband, Daniel, and I raised our three adult children here, and while this community is our home, our family also has deep roots in Italy.

With a degree in Radiation Therapy and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, my career has been defined by a long-standing commitment to healthcare, particularly in the areas of oncology, pediatrics, and kidney transplantation. I am a certified yoga teacher with 200 hours of training (RYT-200), as well as certifications in yin yoga and yoga for cancer. Fluent in Spanish, English, and Italian, my focus is on preventing disease and promoting well-being. Beyond my professional accomplishments, I’ve also embraced becoming a living kidney donor—an experience that profoundly shaped my life and perspective on health.

A year after my kidney donation, I crossed paths with the FASTer Way program because I wanted to learn how to track my protein. What I found instead was a healthy, sustainable lifestyle—one that helped me feel stronger and healthier than ever, and ultimately led me to become a certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® coach.

As part of my advocacy, I participate in yearly treks all over the world alongside other kidney donors to raise awareness for living kidney donation.

Most recently, I became a #1 best-selling author, sharing my personal journey of loss, resilience, healing, and purpose. Writing my story has been another way to connect, educate, and support others navigating change in their own lives.
