Laid Off to Lift Off
Mineola, NY

I'm a mom, runner, baker, podcast host and HR Tech professional. After 10 years at a job i loved, I got laid off. Now, I run Laid Off to Lift Off, a podcast where people share their layoff stories, where they are now and inspiring advice to help others. I also love sharing leadership tips, mindset hacks and ways to rebuild with confidence.

If you're in the room, you belong there!

Q

What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

I would tell young women to keep believing in themselves, and even on the hard days, push through the noise. You're more resilient than you think.

Q

What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

I lead with empathy and kindness at work, I value my time, flexibility and prioritize my health and family. I always preach to my direct reports that their well being and family come first, no matter what.
