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 the opportunity to share my authentic self with exceptional women leaders who I may have never met otherwise is humbling. Having the platform to share, support, and learn from each other in a safe space is PRICELESS! Building diverse relationships outside of my organization has benefited me in gaining additional insight and connections.

Tell us one thing about you that you are most proud of (personally or professionally).

Giving back to others as a mentor has been extremely fulfilling. Seeing my mentees achieve the unachievable and knowing I had a part in their journey enriches my soul. I challenge all women to make a conscious effort to mentor others.

What advice would you have for someone new to a Lean In circle?

I highly recommend joining because the experience gained is much more than what you expect. Coming together with a group of diverse women, who you may or may not not know; working in the same industry to share, support, network, learn, develop and grow is difficult to do on our own. GGW bridges the gap and fosters our ability to engage others on a personally and professionally.

Please share one fun fact or life hack you may have.

I love to design clothes, costumes and decorate. My creativity is an important part of who I am. Expressing myself through design is critical for me at multiple levels. Ensuring I fuel both sides of my brain helps me in so many ways. From taking risk, decision making, and being more innovative in my approach. I own my YOUNIQUENESS and having the ability to share that has helped be the best version of myself.
