Founder
For most of my life, I planned everything.
I built a successful career in technology, moving into leadership roles by making thoughtful, strategic decisions. But when it came to motherhood, I discovered how little guidance women are given until the conversation suddenly feels urgent.
In my late thirties, I chose to pursue motherhood. That decision reshaped my life.
In my memoir, Mission: Motherhood, I share the real story of that path: foster parenting, fertility treatments, uncertainty, and ultimately building my family as a single mother—not as a last resort, but as a deliberate choice.
Today, I help women understand their options earlier, make informed plans, and create families on their own terms. I also advocate for change in legal systems that still fail to protect non-traditional families.
I combine strategic thinking with compassion earned through experience to help women move forward with clarity and confidence—regardless of age, relationship status, or anyone else’s expectations.

Bigger Cause
Help Protect the Right to Choose Motherhood
My journey to motherhood opened my eyes to something bigger than my own story.
In Texas, current laws leave single mothers and women using IVF vulnerable simply because their families don’t fit a traditional definition. That’s not acceptable.
I started a petition on Change.org to urge Texas lawmakers to protect the rights of single mothers and preserve access to IVF for women choosing to build families on their own terms.
This isn’t about politics.
It’s about choice, dignity, and protecting families—now and in the future.
If you believe women deserve the right to plan their families with clarity and security, I invite you to add your voice.
Mission: Motherhood
Rewrite the script. Reclaim your story.
This isn’t just a memoir. It’s a roadmap for women ready to build a family on their own terms. From fertility clinics to courtrooms, Mission: Motherhood walks you through the raw truth of what it takes to create life outside the lines. I share how I navigated heartbreak, healthcare failures, and a groundbreaking legal battle over donor-conceived parenting in Texas. I wrote this book to let women to know they don’t have to face infertility alone.
Inside, you’ll find:
Real stories of resilience, loss, and healing
Hard-earned lessons on fertility, custody, and solo parenting
Emotional tools to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered
This is the book I wish I had when I started.
It won’t hand you the answers. But it will give you the strength to ask better questions—and write your own happily ever after.
