To reach that promise, she works with the leaders on their personal development, support the mental health of the team members, and facilitate conversations that need to take place for the company culture to be scalable, intentional and sustainable.
As a teenager, she wanted to become a psychologist. Her dad eagerly supported that idea by buying her some books on the subject. The rebellious teen within her decided otherwise and went into computer science. It took her 1.5 decades to get back on track with her passion.
Mindshifting is a cocktail of:
🍹 my tech background that helps talk to analytical leaders their language
🍹 project management education and 6+ years of experience that bring structure into my work
🍹 curiosity that makes me ask lots of questions and dig deep in the conversations
