Hella Latin@ Podcast Host and Facilitator
I'm a first-gen Hondureña from Southeast San Diego, consistently navigating the in-betweens in every sense. I'm a multi-passionate storyteller, writer, host, facilitator, y más.
​
I've spent the last few years working in tech, but Hella Latin@ has been an extension of my heart since 2020. I created this platform for us — Latinos, first gen, third culture kids, and for anyone who is navigating being the first.
This podcast is for Latinos to tell their first generation or immigrant stories, and share their unique experiences of navigating identity, life, religion and career in between different cultures and expectations.
​
We keep it real here. Because we need more spaces to tell, preserve, and archive our culture and stories. I'm just merely handing the mic to community, to you. Because if we don't tell our stories, who will?​
​
Hella Latin@ has been featured on Telemundo, FIERCE by Mitú, Popsugar, HipLatina and has been named top Latino podcasts to listen to. I hope you tune in. And I hope you have a love at first listen experience.
Bendiciones y abrazos queridos, xo.
Let's be bffs

I listened to your latest episode From Surviving to Thriving yesterday at the gym and honestly I have no words to describe the emotional tsunami that hit me. I found you on LinkedIn and the timing could not have been more perfectly aligned with my journey.
Mad respect to you. I've been listening to your podcast over the last couple weeks and you're speaking to me. The work you are doing, just blows my mind, and you are the example we needed, young, and old.
To be honest I wanted to thank you for showing that anything can be done. Because when I hear you and the convo you are having it inspires me to push forward like if she can do it so can I.
With each episode I am snapping my fingers and nodding my head. I finally have a podcast I can relate to on so many levels and also learn new things. Your episodes have drawn me to think deeper about my roots, who I am, and where I come from.
