In her words
I stepped out for six years and came back at the level I left. It was not luck and it was not easy. I can help you write the story of a gap so it stops being the first thing anyone asks about.
What she can help with
Return to Work After Leave
Re-entering confidently after parental, medical, or caregiving leave.
Motherhood Penalty
Protecting your trajectory through pregnancy, leave, and return.
Career Pivot / Transition
Changing industries, functions, or levels with intention.
Flexible Work Stigma
Using flexibility without being sidelined as less committed.
Others who cover similar ground
Sunita Rao
Full professor · Runs a 20-person lab
Grant panels, authorship order, and the colleague who keeps putting himself second on your paper. I have fought all of it and won some. Also good on going back after maternity leave in a lab that did not wait.
Yuki Tanaka
Principal architect · Founded her own studio
Left a large practice at 38 to start something with my name on the door. I can help you decide whether to leave, and be honest about what the first two years cost.

Executive coach · Former COO
Twenty years operating, six coaching. I am the person to talk to when you cannot tell whether the problem is the job, the company, or that you have outgrown both.
