For more than 35 years, I was often the only technical woman in the room. As an engineer, I held a range of technical and leadership roles—working directly with CEOs, presidents, VPs, and high-profile clients. Along the way, I mentored engineers, scientists, program managers, and technicians who, like me, were navigating demanding and often unbalanced workplaces.
My career was both rewarding and challenging. I built cutting-edge products, led complex teams, and enjoyed the financial and intellectual rewards of the work. But I also faced bias, ethical crossroads, and moments where walking away was the only option. There were few female role models to turn to—and no one to truly talk to about the realities of being a woman in STEM.
That’s why I founded my coaching program.
You already have the ability to take charge of your career. My role is to help you use it—strategically, confidently, and without losing yourself in the noise of corporate culture. Together, we’ll focus on what really matters: aligning your technical passion with a sustainable, fulfilling path forward.
If you’re feeling frustrated, stuck, or invisible in your STEM career, I understand—and I can help. My strategies are confidential, pragmatic, and grounded in decades of real-world experience.
It’s time to take control of your career—and your peace of mind.
Let’s get started.
