About

We turn doubts into decisions —with bold strategy, real community, and results you can measure.

My story didn’t start with dreams of iPhones, electric cars, or Ivy League schools —and definitely not leaving hometown, Lima - Peru.

It started in a family without a fancy last name, where money was tight, resources were limited and the pressure to be #1 was part of my everyday life.

I studied on scholarship at the prestigious San Silvestre School (Lima, PE) — yes, that expensive school where all girls had a shiny new Kipling backpacks every year and money for the kiosk every day.
I had to keep my grades up or lose my scholarship.

I was smart, yes —but I struggled a lot.
I got distracted, I took longer to process things, and my best friends used to call me “lenteja” (~slang for slow). I didn’t know why. I just knew I couldn’t afford to fail.

When I started college at Universidad de Lima in 2012, everything was going according to plan, I was top third of my class… until I got my first boyfriend and failed four out of five classes.


My mom —frustrated, and rightfully so— pulled me out of college to teach me a hard lesson about money and responsibility.
Watching my friends enroll while I couldn’t? It shattered my confidence.

In the middle of that personal and academic crisis —a disaster in Lima’s society— I made a life changing decision in 2015:
I followed my boyfriend to the U.S. and finish my engineering degree.

No one told me that transferring schools would be HELL:
TOEFL, applications, official translations, essays, document validations, calls in English... and I had zero savings. My family couldn’t afford to pay a dollar based university.


Still, I went for it —and walked out with over $65,000 in student debt, a terrifying number I had no idea how to pay back.

But getting into college was just the beginning.
The real battle was finding a job after graduation that met my visa restrictions.
There was no room for error.

In 2017, my college friend Valentina told me about a national career conference where over 13,000 students competed for jobs at companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, among others.

I’d never been to anything like it.
I didn’t know what to wear, what to say, or how to stand out. It was intimidating…

But I prepared on my own, and went in determined to walk away with something big.

I walked out with two job offers: Goldman Sachs and Cummins.


In 2018, I interned at Cummins.

In 2019, I graduated from College.

Cummins hired me.

Against all odds, I got the job I needed to start paying off that impossible debt.

It wasn’t until late 2021 —when I was already working at Tesla that everything made sense:

my struggles with concentrating, staying organized, and re-reading things three times and without understanding them…

That year, I was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia.

It wasn’t a lack of effort.
It was not knowing how my brain worked.

After that, my career took off.

I worked at Tesla, scaling Model Y and Semi Trucks’ mass production.


At Apple, I launched the iPhone 16 series worldwide.

Now I work at a robotics startup in Silicon Valley —in a role I created and negotiated myself, because it didn’t even exist yet.

And I paid off my debt. In full.

GRWN was born from all the chaos.

Because when I started out, I was flying solo. Nobody showed me the ropeshow to land the job, the strategy to stand out in a crowd, ace an interview, snag an internship, or what to do when you feel like you don't belong.

GRWN is the community, the playbook, and the real-world support I wish I'd had to save myself years of frustration.

It’s more than coaching.
It's a collection of real world experience, hard-won wisdom, and a direct roadmap for anyone ready to chase their goals—but who doesn't want to go alone.

Here, nobody shows up perfect.
You show up HUNGRY.

And if I made it —you can too.


This time, you don’t have to do it alone.
