I grew up in Texas, went to school on the East Coast, and lived in Boston and New York City. I've held a variety of jobs, including lawyer, fundraiser, waiter, sales clerk, and editorial assistant–a twisty path that turned out to provide great experience for both leadership coaching and writing.  

On the coaching front, I know what it’s like to be the only woman in the meeting, to balance work and family, and to manage complicated teams. I also enjoyed a front-row seat to the bizarre Bay Area world I write about—from tech companies to nonprofits to coffee shops where you can buy $12 matcha lattes. 

Today, I live in San Francisco with my partner, two nearly-launched daughters, and one not-very-coachable dog.
