I began my career as a self-taught developer, overcoming homelessness and the absence of formal education through the discovery of coding. As I delved deeper into technology, I found my passion in cybersecurity and entrepreneurship, particularly focusing on Identity & Access Management and STEM education for young learners. Today, I remain dedicated to enhancing security and privacy in our increasingly digital world. As a mother of two, I balance my role at Microsoft with international speaking engagements and workshops covering a range of topics, including cybersecurity best practices, entrepreneurship in the digital age, strategies for Identity & Access Management, and the importance of STEM education for future generations. My aim is to inspire others with the message that one's background does not determine their potential. In 2016, I founded "We Lead Digital" to empower individuals to seize digital opportunities and forge their own paths to success.

Stepping Outside My Comfort Zone: Sharing My Construction Industry Journey! Hey everyone! I'm excited to announce that I'm venturing into the world of public speaking! Public speaking used to terrify me (who knew?), but with over 30 years in the building industry, I have a treasure trove of experiences - both successes and failures - that I'd love to share. Why I Get It Back in 2005, I felt the same frustration many of you face. I was running the family business alongside my father, a fantastic mentor who instilled a strong foundation. However, the industry was changing, and we needed a new approach. I sought out a business coach, but their one-size-fits-all approach focused on generic marketing—it just didn't translate to construction. I spent a lot of money and got nowhere. That's when I realized there was a gap in the industry, a need for someone who truly understood the construction landscape. Sadly, it took another 15 years for me to act on that realization. From Frustrated Business Owner to Passionate Coach Losing my father in 2021 solidified my purpose: helping construction businesses succeed. My clients see me as both a mentor and advisor, someone as passionate about their business as they are. I offer constructive criticism and act as a sounding board for tough decisions. Sharing My Knowledge: From Podcast to Public Speaking I now share my experiences through my bi-weekly podcast, "Bust and Beyond," where we delve into lessons learned from both business and personal failures. Public speaking is the next step – a chance to connect with a wider audience and share the knowledge I've gained the hard way. Looking for Speaking Opportunities! I'm looking for opportunities to speak at events—ideally within construction, but open to related fields as well. Here are some of the topics I'm passionate about sharing: Building high-performing teams Understanding the client journey Creating a rock-solid 5-year business plan Valuable lessons learned from failures (we all have them!) Insights on development and construction ️ Demystifying risk in property ownership If you're involved in event planning and think I could be a good fit for your audience, please don't hesitate to reach out! Thanks for your support!
