Leading with Emotional Intelligence

Engineering My EQ

I used to think…

I used to think an engineering degree was all that mattered. I believed if I just got a job, worked hard enough, mastered the right tools, and kept pushing forward, success would follow.

But over time, and through experience, I realized the real challenges were not in the hard skills.

They were in the soft skills—emotions, dynamics, and inner harmony.

The moments where miscommunication and misalignment derailed progress. The tension in team meetings. The frustration of not being able to communicate clearly and succinctly, even when I had the right answer.

I had some soft skills, but I believed I had to suppress them if I wanted to be an engineer. As expected, things didn’t work out.

After years of inner disharmony, I decided to leave the technical workforce and was led through deep personal work. That’s when I saw the truth: emotional intelligence isn’t optional—it’s essential.

I integrate seemingly opposite worlds—engineering and emotions.

The Holistic Engineer

With a degree in…

With a degree in industrial engineering and a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification, I understand how engineers and technical professionals think.

I also realized what traditional leadership programs were missing: the recognition that we are not only intellectual but emotional and conscious beings.

After I decided to accept my whole self, I trained in emotional intelligence, emotional healing, and spiritual coaching—first to help myself and then to help others bridge the gap between expertise and empathy.

Today, I integrate seemingly opposite worlds—engineering and emotions—and use them to equip engineers and technical leaders with emotional intelligence and equanimity skills, enabling them to become conscious leaders.

If you are currently in a leadership role, about to take one on, or considering it, I can help you develop your emotional intelligence and bridge the gap between technical expertise and human connection. When these two worlds align in your life, not only does your professional career soar, but your personal fulfillment can reach new heights.

I believe understanding and managing our emotions is real power.

Books with a Bigger Purpose

This is just the beginning.

I’m taking everything I’ve learned—the insights, the breakthroughs, and the tools that’ve helped others lead and live with more ease and empathy —and putting it into writing.

The books I’m writing now are an extension of this mission: to bring emotional intelligence, equanimity, and conscious leadership to the hearts of leaders at home, work, and in their businesses.

Not as an afterthought, but as a foundation.

Quick facts about me:

  • I’m the Director of Operations and co-CEO of an electromagnetic engineering consulting firm that my husband and I own.
  • I’m fluent in Spanglish (I tend to mix my languages).
  • I have a superpower: I can tune into other people’s emotions to help them bring clarity to whatever situation they’re going through.
  • Spirituality is very important to me. After all, we are all spirit beings walking in meat and bone suits. No worries, I’m not that woo-woo in my work—unless you want me to 😉
  • My favorite things, aside from my work, are learning, walking meditation, and spending time with my family.
  • I live in Surprise, Arizona—a city NW of the Phoenix metro area.
  • I live with my husband (also an engineer) and two teenage daughters—help!

Emotional Intelligence isn’t optional—it’s essential.
