From Hartford to Silicon Valley to Seattle, my journey has taken unexpected turns – including landing in Big Tech, buying a home at 28, and building what many would call a dream life. But through moving to new cities solo, navigating unconventional relationship dynamics, and learning to trust my instincts in corporate spaces, I’ve discovered that joy often lives outside of others’ expectations.

After 8+ years in tech, I’ve learned that true success isn’t about climbing ladders – it’s about building bridges between our cultural roots and professional ambitions, between others’ expectations and our own dreams. Through this blog, speaking engagements, and the Perfectamente in Progress newsletter, I’m creating spaces where others can explore what success means to them, because the most beautiful stories are the ones we dare to write ourselves.
