She spent the first half of her career working at advertising agencies in NYC before heading to California to work on Taco Bell account. The past few years she has been working on brand engagement and sales marketing at Clorox. Last year, she saw a need to support mother's returning from maternity and decided to develop an entire employee resource group to support parents at Clorox. Her passion in the space lead to developing virtual programs to support parents based off of similar kids ages, parenting education classes, executive storytime and collaborating with HR on benefits improvement programs within the organization. Outside of Clorox, she started a website called Pandemic Working Parent to develop resources to help parents thrive in the workplace.
