PURA STRONG I want a world where taxes can be collected fairly. This means eliminating tax havens. This means international agreements and more financing to chase down tax fraud and money laundering. We are closing in on forcing a digital trail of money. When that is reached, not only tax evasion but terrorism, drug, human arms trafficking, and corruption becomes hard to do. I devote my experience to work towards that goal. No need to be afraid of the bad guys. Denounce tax evaders and fraud because they're raising your own taxes. STRONG ABOGADOS Why? Because we've been there moving overseas: we know how you feel. Dealing with a bureaucracy you don't know and getting information when you haven't mastered the language can be tough. Once you have a trusted partner to handle the issues you confront, you can relax and focus on enjoying the best of Spain. For businesses that includes incorporation, accounting, payroll, and compliance. For individuals, we handle real estate, investments, immigration, and taxes. We guarantee that our team at Strong Abogados is the best choice for international clients in Spain.

I believe that when people know how to build strong connections they afford themselves more opportunities. And when people know what they want and need they ultimately feel more confident and can build the foundation for effective professional and personal networks. The truth is most people have never been taught soft skills and haven't had the opportunity to really think about the following question, "Why do you get out of bed in the morning and why should anyone care?" As a certified, professional networking coach and consultant I merge traditional coaching methods with soft skills to help empower people so they can learn how to create strong connections, lead a meaningful career and live a purposeful life. Trained under the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) I actively listen to my client’s needs by asking the right questions, honor a confidential and non-judgmental space, which results in clients creating their own solutions. As a coach I help clients create benchmarks while holding them accountable for their desired success. I am passionate and believe in the coaching practice because it directly enables clients to ask for what they want in their life and then come up with a deliberate plan to take action while their confidence and self-esteem dramatically increases. Before pursuing a career in coaching I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in International Relations. After graduating I worked as a legal recruiter with Patton Boggs LLP in Washington, DC and then facilitated international trade at the Canadian Consulate in Denver, CO. I thrive on connecting with like-minded individuals, exploring all types of restaurants and cuisines and enjoy all cultural experiences that broaden and challenge my way of thinking. I would love to meet the business owner who recognizes that they need to be out meeting people to increase brand awareness or strong sphere of influence.
