For over a decade, I worked inside complex, high-pressure organizations while raising four children, telling myself I was “doing fine” while quietly running out of capacity. I don’t believe ambitious mothers need more discipline or better balance. I believe they’re operating inside systems that were never intentionally designed.

My work blends behavioral science, leadership strategy and lived experience to redesign those systems at the root.
