About

I didn't plan to become a leader, I fell into it.

I work with Women & People of Colour in Tech & Business: Designers, Researchers, Developers, Data Analysts, Career-Changers pivoting into Tech, and first-time Founders suddenly leading a Tech team. People who are brilliant at the work & still feel the specific, quiet exhaustion of being the "only one" in the room.

I trained in theatre design, then graphic design, then went deep into research, strategy and UX chasing every course that promised to make me good at the craft.

What none of them taught me was how to lead.

How to manage a stakeholder who doesn't rate you. How to hold a budget, a deadline, and a team's morale at the same time. How to walk into a room, again, where no one else looks like you, and still speak like you belong there.

I had to learn all of it on the job. Under pressure. In real time. With no space to process what was actually happening to me.

And the hardest part wasn't the work. It was that there was almost no one in the senior seats who looked like me. No one who'd walked the path before and could say, "here's what nobody tells you." I was leading teams and still felt completely alone.

I got through it. Not because someone showed me the way, but because I built my own support system, piece by piece, out of necessity.

Now I build that support system for others on purpose, and earlier than I had it.

Most leadership spaces weren't built with us in mind. They're big, loud, and performative, which is especially hard if you're an introvert, or if you've spent your whole career already performing confidence you didn't feel. So I do the opposite. I create smaller, quieter, judgement-free spaces - rooms where you can actually exhale. Where you're not managing perception on top of everything else. Where you can just be honest about what's hard, and get real help with it.

What changes isn't just skill. It's ground beneath your feet. My mentees leave calmer. Steadier. With a quiet confidence that doesn't need to shout to be felt and a self-belief that changes how they show up in every room after this one.

I know it works because I lived it first, and because I've watched it work for the Women and POC I've mentored since. This isn't theory. It's the thing I wish had existed for me.

Think of me as your Big Sis in Tech. The one who already went through it, and isn't going to let you go through it alone.
