Starting from ground zero, I have painstakingly constructed my career brick by brick

My approach to problem-solving is rooted in simplicity and clarity. It’s about distilling complex challenges down to their essence and tackling them head-on. This mindset has been the cornerstone of my success, transforming nascent ideas into successful, market-leading products with a global reach.

I am a strong advocate for increasing gender diversity in tech.

I’d love to discuss the importance of mentorship, networking, and creating inclusive environments to empower more women in tech.

I am a breast cancer survivor who worked tirelessly throughout my treatment and four surgeries after a double mastectomy. My story is one of resilience, determination, and finding strength in the face of adversity. I believe my experience can inspire others to face challenges in various aspects of their lives, demonstrating the power of perseverance and a positive outlook.
