My Story

Hi, I'm Wilda. Welcome to My Evolution!

This journey started long before Evvolution was born. It began in a moment of deep loss that reshaped my purpose.

I was 19 years old, pursuing my Bachelor's degree, when I lost one of my brothers. His life was cut short too soon, and I was left with questions that had no answers. Why him? Why did life continue as if nothing had happened? I felt lost. Searching for meaning, I turned to books—self-help, psychology, anything that could help me make sense of life and loss. That curiosity became my calling.

I wanted to understand human behavior, not just to heal myself but to help others navigate the challenges of life and work.

That calling led me to earn a PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. Of all the places where human behavior unfolds, the workplace fascinated me the most. My career became my anchor. It gave me direction, a sense of impact, and a way to contribute. I went from an Admin Assistant to a Talent Management Leader in a Fortune 500 company, working directly with Executive Teams for nearly two decades. I led leadership programs, helped people move into global and leadership roles, and shaped healthier work environments.

As my career progressed, I found more and more opportunities to help others grow—coaching leaders, supporting career transitions, and shaping workplace cultures where people could thrive.

But life has a way of testing our resilience. In recent years, Puerto Rico has faced hurricanes, earthquakes, and a global pandemic. Personally, I experienced deep losses that took me back to that 19-year-old version of myself—searching for purpose again. And just like before, I found clarity in contributing, in using my skills to create something meaningful.

That’s why I founded Evvolution.

Not every workplace is a great place to work. Not every leader knows how to bring out the best in their team. And too many people go through their careers feeling disengaged, unfulfilled, or stuck.

That’s what I’m here to change.

Evvolution applies research-backed strategies and real-world experience to transform workplaces into spaces where people thrive. If you’re looking for leadership development, workplace culture improvement, or personal career growth, you’re in the right place.
