I was originally born in Spain. At the age of nineteen I came to the U.S. believing in the american dream. I was the first in my family to go to college, but as a girl I was told that I should "just have children." I seemed to have a knack for languages, law, and the fine arts, but my mind rebelled all the time. I wanted to create and learn the sciences. In high-school I failed English, Physics and Mathematics and I was told I would not amount to anything. I have since then talk more than seven languages, trained for the FBI academy, work at NASA as an engineer student, and at marine laboratories, hospitals, and even served in the U.S. Army. I wanted to become an astronaut or pilot, and almost did if it was not for my role as a mother. I have helped thousands of students here in the U.S. and overseas to open their horizons and dream the impossible and achieve the impossible as scientists, entrepreneurs, nursing students, or astronomers. My mission in life is to reprogrammed in students and people I coach old habits and wrong patterns and beliefs so they can share their own light into the world. Presently, I speak in events, published books around the world, and work as a professor serving health care students.
