Weather the storm, turn the tide and come out on top.
You’re ready to grow your audience, build a business that has no borders and connect with other cultures on a deep level, but something is holding you back.
You’re worried about getting cancelled for showing up in the wrong ways…
Or making mistakes that can cost you thousands of dollars or even worse, your reputation. You’re worried those mistakes are going to set you back rather than propel you forward.
Maybe you’ve been burned before when trying to bridge that gap between cultures and are scared to make your next move in case the same thing happens again.
Yet you know how important it is to make cultural connections and that without doing this, you’re missing out on reaching new heights in your business!
Without expanding into other cultures, you’re leaving revenue on the table, missing out on expansive visibility, and preventing your growth.
Fear is holding you back and I get it.

Hi I’m Iza!
I‘m a cross-cultural consultant, a journalist turned entrepreneur, who helps leaders and brands bridge the gap between cultures to achieve next-level success.
Whether you’re a leader or brand who wants to intentionally connect with diverse audiences to build your business and expand your visibility.
Or if you’re ready to step into your confidence, own your uniqueness, and cross over into other cultures to build your brand, I’m here to enable this transformation!
With over 20 years of experience in media and communications, I’m an expert in helping people communicate their message, build their relationships and expand their businesses.


I know you want more.
You’ve built something incredible, your expertise, your accomplishments, your reputation.
But if you’re feeling stuck, it’s not because you lack the skills or the experience.
It’s because you’re still playing small. You’ve outgrown the version of yourself that got you here. The only thing missing? The courage to step into something bigger.
Your past isn’t a box. It’s a launchpad.
Your next level of influence, visibility, and impact is waiting.
Are you ready to claim it?

I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it feels like.
You can experience huge growth when crossing over to different audiences and expanding your messaging is only going to result in a bigger impact.
This was part of my journey as soon as I was hired by a public official who was elected to serve in a congressional district where a majority of his constituents were people from all over Latin America and the Caribbean. Years later, I joined a groundbreaking campaign which aimed to make history by electing the first congressman of Puerto Rican descent in Florida.
I experienced this whole different world which inspired me to work in a similar arena but to do it on my own.
Being a new parent for the second time and entering into my first marriage, I decided to add ‘new entrepreneur’ to the list as well. Hey, who says you can’t rediscover yourself, take risks at any age?

I have discovered a world that demands a radical change regarding our professions and the projection we deserve as leading women and agents of change in the 21st century.
What if you stop limiting yourself?
I do this work because I see too many leaders and professionals stuck in the shadows, capable, talented, and full of potential, yet feeling invisible.
They have so much to offer. But barriers, language, misconceptions, culture, fear keep them playing small.
I get it. As a Latina woman, I know how easy it is to start putting limits on yourself. To believe the lie that you don’t belong in certain spaces.
But here’s the truth: Those limits? They’re not real. And they sure as hell don’t define you.
I also work with those who want to build bridges across communities because, let’s be real the world doesn’t need more division. It needs more connection.
And here’s the best part: You don’t need to speak the same language or share the same traditions to connect deeply with people.
Because real influence? It transcends words. It’s about how you make people feel.
That’s what I help you do.
Are you ready to be seen?
My work enables me to build bridges, understanding, and empathy between cultures and that is powerful.
What if you stop limiting yourself?
The work I do is so important to me because I know there are many other leaders and professionals who also feel stagnant but have the desire to be truly seen and heard.
They are capable individuals who have a multitude of skills and gifts to share with the world but often feel limited by so many things; language, misconceptions, culture, and fear.
This adds up and as a Latino woman myself, I know how easy it is to start putting internal barriers on yourself, but this is incredibly limiting and we need to stop.
I also work with those who want to build bridges between diverse communities because I’m committed to reducing the level of division in the world, one step at a time.
Even if you don’t speak the same language or aren’t familiar with the traditions and ways of other cultures, there are so many methods to connect with people on a deeper and more emotional level. That is exactly what I can enable you to do.
My work enables me to build bridges, understanding, and empathy between cultures and that is powerful.

Get to know me
Outside of my work, I spend time with my 2 sons, my dog Max and my wonderful husband. You’ll find me listening to self-development podcasts, dancing at every opportunity, or drinking rioja with my friends.
I’m devoted to building connections with others and spreading the word on the importance of culture and communication in helping build your brand presence and visibility as a leader or business owner.
This has led me to provide expert advice to members of the U.S. Congress, entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, small businesses, thought leaders and teach workshops to large groups of people.
