Passion
I’m passionate about shaking up how corporate America works: Saying goodbye to outdated ‘boys’ club’ dynamics and creating workplaces where undervalued voices finally have a voice at the table and the power to shape decisions. My mission is to help women lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose, so they not only claim their place as leaders but also help reshape workplaces into spaces where all boats rise. This isn’t about cutting down those who hold value. It’s about building a new model of leadership where collaboration, innovation, and inclusion drive meaningful, sustainable success for everyone.
Best Story
One of my favorite stories happened early in my management career taught me a lesson I carry with me to this day. Just a week into my new leadership role, I was thrown into the deep end when I had to put a former coworker on a Performance Improvement Plan. There was pressure to let her go, but I saw her potential and chose instead to become her biggest advocate. With belief, support and clear expectations, we turned things around together. Over a decade later, she's still a rockstar at that company. That experience shaped my philosophy: when we lead with intention and invest in people, we don't just help individuals thrive. We create workplaces where everyone rises.
Origin Story
Picture this: I'm about to jet off for my honeymoon when my boss drops a bombshell - a massive company reorganization. That was just the beginning. Over the next three years, I navigated a whirlwind of challenges: a demanding job, a house hunt, a promotion, and the start of our infertility journey. It was a relentless storm.
I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and lost. But in the midst of that chaos, a question ignited a spark: "How do I want to live my life?" This became my guiding light. I learned to overcome obstacles, prioritize my well-being, and ultimately, create a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. That journey transformed me, and I'm passionate about sharing those lessons with others.
