My Story

I’ve spent more than a decade as a privacy and compliance attorney and executive, working inside healthcare and life sciences organizations where trust, ethics, and regulation shape everyday decisions. In senior leadership roles, I saw firsthand how policies and systems impact real people—often in ways leaders don’t fully recognize until something breaks.

​

Long before that, I was a ballerina. I started dancing at two and a half, and for years, the discipline, precision, and control of ballet gave me a sense of stability in an otherwise unpredictable home. That early training stayed with me. It shaped how I moved through the world—high-achieving, perfectionistic, and deeply comfortable pushing through discomfort to perform.

​

That same pattern followed me into my career. I built a life defined by excellence, responsibility, and impact. And on paper, it worked.

​

Until it didn’t.

​

A major health disruption required me to step away from my executive career and experience the systems I had helped navigate from the other side—this time as a patient, a parent, and a person with limits I could no longer override. That moment forced a reckoning. Not just with my work, but with how I had defined strength, success, and leadership.

​

Today, I’m also a mother of three daughters. Raising them has deepened my commitment to building a different kind of future—one where success doesn’t require self-abandonment, and where leadership makes space for humanity, not just performance.

​

Heart Led Leadership was born from that intersection of professional expertise and lived experience. My work brings empathy, accessibility, and rigor together to help leaders design systems that support both outcomes and the people inside them.

​

I help audiences rethink power, redefine strength, and build environments rooted in trust, resilience, and sustainable performance—so people don’t have to break in order to succeed.
