I grew up in a small, Midwestern town – playing cards, sipping sweet tea and going to church on Sunday. After college I followed my heart to Northern California, where I like to enjoy a good book with an even better glass of wine. I have made a career in Finance and M&A, with an emphasis on empowering women and lifting while I climb. I have a passion for social justice and activism – which my husband and I are passing onto our two young daughters. My dream for them is to one day join other fierce feminists taking their rightful place in the world.
