Hi, I’m

. Welcome and yayyyyy for being here!

So, what is ‘Read the Instructions’?

I’m glad you asked! This is where I share bits and pieces of my multifaceted world. I consider this my personal publication.

Some of the themes you’ll find here:

  • Real-time account of the experience of writing a MEMOIR

  • Taking a hiatus from the CORPORATE life and the process of figuring out what to do next (entrepreneurship, here we come!)

  • Advocacy for WOMEN and diversity in tech

  • Aerospace engineering, program management, and the SPACE 🚀🛰️industry

  • REAL ESTATE investing, specifically, SHORT TERM / VACATION RENTALS

  • Messy teenaged MIS-ADVENTURES

  • Sexual abuse and assault, and more advocacy for WOMEN!

Wondering about the name, Read the Instructions? Read my title Origin Story here!
