Defining moment: The journey to adopting our son, Ryder, was one of the hardest and most humbling experiences of my life. It tested every ounce of patience, faith and strength I thought I had, but it also revealed a quiet, relentless determination I didn’t know I had and a persistence that carried me through. That experience deepened my capacity for love, taught me to trust the process, and showed me that the most meaningful things often come from the most challenging paths.
Beyond work: My family is my greatest motivation. My dad believed in me first and supported me even when it meant allowing me to fail. My husband has been my anchor, encouraging me no matter how big or abstract my dreams might be. And my kids remind me every day why the work matters. Our daughter, now 16, inspires me with her growing independence, and Ryder, our 7-year-old miracle, is proof that the hardest roads can lead to the most beautiful destinations.
