I would like to help women working full time and growing their career to confidently start and have families at the same time. Also, I would like to help mommas who are raising mixed race children in a third country and multilingual household.
I am really good at learning about or doing something, then identifying the most important aspects, putting them together in a structured way and thereby simplifying it for others to come. After making it through our company’s management assessment center, I have prepared and mentored various other colleagues to pass it. During my second pregnancy I was lucky to have 7 girlfriends pregnant at the same time. From how to prepare for birth to newborn essential items list, I was happy to see them ask for my advice and implement it.
