About
I've spent the last 15 years inside fertility and women's health - as a clinician, patient, and strategic operator.
My career started caring for patients at the bedside as an RN. When my own family-building journey didn't go as planned, I became a fertility patient myself - and found myself in waiting rooms at independent clinics and major networks across the US. I put my hard-earned patient experience to good use and spent eight years helping build a fertility-focused, pre-revenue startup into a category-defining company serving Fortune 500 clients and more than 6 million people globally.
Today, I'm a strategic advisor to people building and innovating in fertility & women's health, bringing clinical expertise, deep industry context, and a knack for building connections between passionate innovators in my network.
My favorite groups to partner with care deeply about what they're building - I help them find the strategy, the story, and patient insight that can turn that conviction into something that actually works.

Work with Me
Founders & Startups
For founders building something new - or figuring out what's next. I bring clinical judgment, industry context, strategic relationships, and the ability to turn complex ideas into products, positioning, and stories that resonate with clinicians, patients, and investors alike.
Clinics, Employers & Industry
Your patients are telling you things. I'll help you hear them. Through audits, focus groups, embedded consulting, and ongoing advisory, I help you see around corners and turn real patient experiences into insights your clinical, product, marketing, and benefits teams can actually use.
Speaking & Teaching
I speak to the realities of reproductive healthcare - from fertility and menopause education to the patient experience itself. Available for keynotes, webinars, panels, trainings, podcasts, and live events. For organizations looking for deeper clinical education, I also collaborate with a network of exceptional clinicians and subject-matter experts.
Patients
After nearly a decade as a fertility patient - and years spent professionally inside the industry - I know how different it feels to navigate this system from the other side. Specifically for patients trying to become parents, I offer group conversations and a limited number of complimentary 1:1 sessions for people who want extra support on their own family building journey.
