A Bit About Me
Beyond the CV and Bio

Passion Meets Purpose

I've found my sanctuary in the weightlifting arena, where strength is my anthem.  It's not just a hobby; it's my passion, my refuge, and my reminder that perseverance pays off.

Beyond the barbells, I'm a startup strategist, helping businesses soar. The parallels are uncanny – just as I lift weights, I lift startups both financially and strategically, nurturing their growth.

Grateful for this incredible journey, where my personal passion and professional purpose align beautifully.  Remember, ladies, you can be fierce in the gym and fierce in your career!
