Okay, that may be sort of an exaggeration. But maybe it’s not.

I’m the VP of Operations for a smallish-mediumish tech firm based in Seattle. We have a few offices in the U.S. and an office in London. Based on these stats, we are what’s known in common parlance as “a Big Boy company”. I am (am I?) responsible for the 80-ish souls employed by my company and it’s a responsibility that I take very seriously.

Which, TBH, can be difficult when I’m pretty sure that I’m a collection of mismatched socks stuffed inside a human suit. Imposter Syndrome much? Yeah, more on that later.

This blog is going to be an attempt to hold myself accountable (whatever that means in this context) as play the part of a Successful Professional Woman™️. I want to examine my shortcomings, celebrate my wins, and maybe even interrogate my feelings. I’m not just going to talk about work stuff but also personal life stuff, being a mom, being a female, and generally being a human who isn’t great with things like lima beans and emotions.

So, welcome to the party.
