Coaching & mentoring for women in tech.
Get visibility, build influence and do what matters.

I know what it's like to be the only woman in a room of engineers. The only manager on a leadership team. The only one with small kids at home.

I also know what changes when someone shows up for you — a mentor with the right framework at the right moment, a peer advocating for you, a coach helping you see the whole picture.

That support shaped my growth and my trajectory. I'm here to pay it forward.

I work with women in engineering, product, and leadership who are navigating career growth, transitions, and the moments when life and work shift at the same time — helping them make confident decisions, and design ways of working that actually fit the life they're creating.

Why I care about this work

My own experience showed me how much compound pressure intensifies for women in tech.

I moved countries and rebuilt my career in a new environment, growing into leadership in a multicultural tech organization.

Later, while caring for a toddler, I was moving into the next stage of my career by joining a top tier tech company.

Then, while caring for two young kids, I shifted towards portfolio career by building the coaching practice and doing fractional jobs.

That experience showed me that transitions for women in tech are rarely just about work. They're about identity, timing, and building a path that fits the life you're creating.

The support I received from people in the industry made a real difference. That's what I want to create for others.
