A first-generation Latina looking to make a positive change in the world. One voice at-a-time. One story at-a-time. One connection at-at-time.  Based in Houston, Raquel has dedicated herself to healthcare advocacy and healthcare education for the last 12 years. 

Having a multi-lingual background, she has been able to expand her reach by educating different neighborhood groups around the Houston area. Through her efforts, many members of the communities who otherwise would go without proper health care have benefitted from her advocacy and received health services.  Her efforts have decreased the high percentage of members who go without basic health needs. 

She works directly with state, city, county, and other local officials to educate communities on important health topics. Raquel is also involved in active research in partnership with various entities such as her world-renowned alma mater Texas A&M University, BakerRipley, and the City of Houston.  This active research aims to identify the external environmental factors which may cause physical stressors on the elderly when participating in physical activities within their communities. Based on the results of the research, enhancements will be made to improve the neighborhood surroundings to be more age-friendly. 

Raquel possesses excellent leadership skills and is looking forward to building a coachable team that will increase the reach potential thus expanding the efforts of her "Mission with a vision". She looks forward to empowering women and contribute globally to spread her message of love and kindness to the world.

Raquel has called Houston her home for the last 30 years. She is a sports enthusiast and labels herself "gung-ho" about all things "Aggies".  Avid salsa dancer. Foodie. Lives with her furbabies and children. Enjoys the beach and quality time exploring the city and seeking adventures. Raquel is currently working on publishing her book and looks forward to sharing her life journey through speaking engagements.

As a Social Media Director at Brilliant Beam Media, my days are fueled by crafting strategies that not only captivate but also drive results for both B2B and B2C ventures. Fluent in Spanish-speaking and Spanish to English translation, I've had the privilege of bridging cultural gaps and amplifying brand voices across diverse audiences.

Beyond the boardroom, I wear the badges of a Walking Tall Movement Ambassador and a proud member of The Outlier Project with immense pride. These roles aren't just titles; they're opportunities to pay it forward. My heart beats for empowering fellow Latino entrepreneurs, especially the resilient women who navigate through cultural and personal barriers with grace and grit.

Through the intimate avenues of my podcast, coaching sessions, and the pages of my soon-to-be-released book, "Culture Clash," I don't just share stories—I share journeys. My own journey from the tumultuous streets of El Salvador to the corridors of opportunity in the United States serves as a beacon of hope. But more importantly, it's a roadmap for those who dare to dream, guiding them from the realm of possibility to the realm of action.

My mission is simple yet profound: to give voice to the voiceless, to provide platforms for the overlooked, and to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools they need to thrive. And as we continue on this transformative journey together, let's not forget the power of community. On LinkedIn, I've cultivated not just connections but a family—a tribe of diverse souls united by shared dreams and mutual support.

Join me, not just as a spectator, but as a fellow architect of change. Together, let's shatter barriers, rewrite narratives, and pave the way for a future where every dream is not just realized but celebrated.

Change Your Algorithm

Change Your Algorithm is a program about personal growth and community-wide empowerment for its members. This is accomplished by reprogramming negative beliefs that have held us back from living our full potential. CYA teaches its community that the mind consists of 2 parts: The Conscious Mind (10% of brainpower) and the Subconscious Mind (90% of brainpower). CYA encourages its community to shift the negative self-beliefs in the subconscious through holistic and traditional techniques such as meditation, journaling, practicing gratitude, self-forgiveness, creating healthy boundaries, and raising our self-esteem. It is through the consistent utilisation of these practices and the support of a community of peers that we can start to develop self-esteem and live a life of purpose. 

Change Your Algorithm offers weekly mental health classes that are 100% free of cost. These classes are led by hand-selected therapists/guest speakers and are open to anyone that wants to improve their mental health. Whether you are in recovery from addiction or want to live a more positive life, there is a class designed for you. Each class includes daily topics that dive into an issue, allow for Q&A opportunities, and usually include meditation. This structure allows for open, welcoming, and safe spaces for people to learn and grow no matter who they are or where they come from.

I’m the founder of NYOC, a straight-talking Executive Performance Coach, TEDx Speaker, and CPD-Certified Training Provider with a relentless passion for helping leaders and businesses realise their potential—and then take it 10x further.

I’m not here to give you another motivational quote—you’ve seen enough of those.

I’m here to help you lead from within, sharpen your edge, and deliver real results by shifting your mindset, amplifying key growth areas, and embracing real change.

My journey began in the corporate world, where I faced challenges like redundancy, personal health scares, and the search for deeper purpose. It led me to coaching—and a mission to help others break through their own blocks.

From completing a gruelling 180-mile bike ride to earning my 3rd-degree black belt, I’ve always believed that our toughest moments reveal our strongest selves. That same resilience runs through every session I run and every leader I work with.

I work with CEOs, senior management teams, and boards who want more than just inspiration—they want execution, performance, and lasting change. My unique framework, The 5 States of Optimisation, aligns inner energy with external action—driving self-leadership, productivity, and high-performance habits.

I now deliver:

Tailored CPD-Certified Training & Workshops

1:1 & Executive Team Coaching

Speaking at Conferences & Events

Corporate Strategy Support in Times of Change

Whether you're facing disruption, underperformance, or rapid growth, I help you and your team cut through the fluff, lead with clarity, and outperform the competition.

When I’m not coaching or speaking, you’ll find me building LEGO with my family, riding long distances on my bike, or writing my next book on how your inner energy shapes the world around you.

Ready to take your leadership and performance to the next level?

Let’s connect and start transforming your leadership from within—because real growth starts with YOU.
