I am a psychologist, a mom of two and currently on a mission to grow my vegetable garden. What I love: playing with my kids, practicing the piano, reading a novel and sharing experiences with loved ones. I dream of becoming a better writer, travelling (even) more and supporting women on all walks of life. My friends probably describe me as empathetic, caring, funny at times and the worst planner.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
As a woman working in VC, empowering other women in the industry and beyond really important to me. By taking on a less conventional path, I am constantly reminded of how hard but also rewarding it is to go outside the comfort zone. One of my goals in life is to make sure to empower others like I have had the chance to be supported. I always try my best to recognise and challenge stereotypes, to build awareness and continuously learn about diversity.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
My passion is cooking and writing. Both I find extremely meditative. Cooking because it grounds me and writing because it gives me the space to reflect.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
Probably mostly around how to build a business, find the right talent, be a better leader, follow through on your goals and juggle being a working mom and having a full time job.
