I can’t honestly I aspired to become a mother. I pushed myself to finish graduate school directly following a double major and double minor in undergrad.

It wasn’t that 👶 🍼 didn’t appeal to me but I had been told not to bother that my body wouldn’t work.

When the surprise baby was born, I couldn’t imagine a life without her (and now her two sisters too!).

And now, I balance my mom life with my career life by working from home and homeschooling.

My kids and husband mean everything to me but the passion to have a career and build things will always burn. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to have it all while still being a Productively Present Parent™.
