It's not your fault you have not completed your memoir!

All story-to-memoir platforms miss the important fact that not everybody has a writing practice already. But if you are still determined to write more personal stories or even completing your memoir, I can help you.

I will work with you and your story and show you how to use his insights and structures in your writing or storytelling practice.

All my advice is intended to learn a skill you can use for the rest of your life and in many areas of it.

I spend my life immersed in stories: the ones I tell, the ones I don't, the ones I'm working on, and those generously shared with me.

You probably have many of them you want to tell others. If you need guidance to get you going, I am here for you.

Sessions are held over Zoom or phone call.

I am an award-winning essayist, columnist, and monologuist. I write humorous essays about growing up in Colombia during its most violent years, being married to an amazing human being, and almost gently parenting my two incredible daughters in the San Francisco Bay area.

I am the writer behind the traditionally published opinion column “We Have a Real Problem!”, the storytelling newsletter “The Story Frame,” and the cultural newsletter “Unequivocally Ambiguous.”

I dropped out of engineering school in my fourth year, moved to the United States, and graduated cum laude from San Diego State University’s School of Communication.

Through college, I competed regionally and nationally in Impromptu Speaking, Entertainment Speeches, and Policy Debates.
