How long have you been in a Lean In Circle? 
3 years

For you, what, so far, has been the highlight of your circle?
Having, without a doubt, a close group of like-minded women that are my tribe. I know that if I need something, anything at all, these wonderful women would drop what they are doing to help me and I would do the same for them. 

Tell us one thing about you that you are most proud of (personally or professionally).
Not one thing defines me. I am a mother, a wife, a friend and a good employee. I find balance in things and over the past year have matured enough to recognize when something in my life needs more energy than others. 

What advice would you have for someone new to a Lean In circle?
Bring your entire self to the table. I can't take credit for this quote, but a great leader once told me, "Be humble enough to know that you know the least in the room." Be vulnerable and always be willing to learn. 

Please share one fun fact or life hack you may have.
The Five Minute Journal is one of the best tools i've ever used!
