Childcare benefits advocate, mom of two, and CEO and Co-Founder at Upwards (formerly WeeCare), America's largest childcare network.

Early childhood education has been close to my heart for years now and became even more important to me when I became a mom. My time with our team is focused on solving childcare through technology for working families, employers, and caregivers.

Prior to my work at Upwards, I worked in finance and marketplace operations roles and also owned and operated preschools. Oh, and I'm a proud graduate of UC Berkeley and an avid food photographer follower on Instagram. :)
