Hi! i’m sylvia

Let me share a bit more about my journey…

I've worked in Silicon Valley throughout my career. I understand the challenges and opportunities of working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. This means I had to learn how to eat ambiguity for breakfast and shift gears while my hair's on fire!

I spent the last 17 years of my corporate career in Strategic Partnership & Development roles at Google. I also volunteered as an internal career coach and team development facilitator during this time. I really enjoyed helping people learn more about themselves, grow, and achieve their goals.

This is what started an exciting new spark! I knew I needed to find a way to focus my time on helping people in this way and do work that made me thrive.

I left Google in 2020 to start a new chapter and focus on building out my coaching and consulting business.

As a life-long learner, growth is important to me. So is doing my best to be my best for my clients. I am a:

• Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC)

• ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC)

• Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach

• Positive Intelligence Trained Coach

I’m passionate about advancing the careers and lives of women and Latinos. I am an Executive Coach for The Women's Impact Alliance and a Career Coach for the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley's Latina Economic Advancement Program (LEAP). I also serve on the Board of Directors for The SJSU Latino Alumni Network and Sacred Heart Nativity Schools of San Jose.

I am a mom, a breast cancer previvor by choice and a survivor by chance, and have handled my fair share of life challenges.

I am also an obsessive learner, creative dabbler, and a coffee, wine, and live music lover. Great wine + live music at an outdoor venue = pure MAGIC!

Let’s connect. I’d love to learn more about you!
