About
I am not selling my success. I am selling what I learned from my wrong turns.
I grew up in Rosario, Argentina. I was physically talented, driven, and completely without the tools to channel it. That gap cost me years. Now I work with coaches and athletes so the same thing does not happen to them.
The long way around
I played and coached football across Argentina, Ireland, and Switzerland. In the 2025-2026 season I was part of the technical staff at Servette Chênois Féminin in Geneva, working as interpreter and assistant to the head coach. We won both the Swiss Cup and the League. I saw at close range what it costs when the person behind the performance is not taken care of, and what it looks like when they are.
Before that, I spent a season at Scoil Éanna in Cork, a primary school for children with mild mixed disabilities. I designed and ran a basketball programme for children with ASD, Down syndrome, and learning disabilities. By the end, two teams competed in an inter-school tournament. The competitive team won all three matches. A nine-year-old girl named Kate, who had never touched a basketball before January, told me afterward she had joined a training club.
That is when I understood what this kind of work can do.
I hold a Bachelor of Business in Recreation and Sport Management from SETU (Distinction) and a Higher Diploma in Social Policy from UCC (Distinction), where my research focused on how Irish policy frameworks fail to support sport participation for children with intellectual disabilities. I work in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

How I work
Research-informed. Honest about what I know and what I am still learning.
From the inside
I have worked inside professional sport, not just studied it. I know what the environment costs people who are not prepared for it, and what it looks like when someone has the right tools at the right time.
Research-informed
My practice is grounded in academic work on mental performance, neuroscience, and wellbeing. I translate research into tools that work in real environments, with real people under real pressure.
Honest about where I am
I am not a sport psychologist. I am a practitioner and researcher at an early stage of a long career. What I offer is honest, grounded, and built around the person in front of me. Not a formula.
