Meet the working mom behind WorkMom

Hi! I’m Mel.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve built sales teams from scratch and coached hundreds of leaders and professionals at some of the world’s most reputable tech companies in my quest to climb the corporate ladder.

But everything—and I mean, everything—changed when I had my first baby: my priorities, ambition, sense of purpose, and identity. When I went back to work, I felt overwhelmed, insecure, and lost (not to mention: so sleep-deprived I couldn’t remember my computer password). Does that sound like you? If so, I’m thrilled you’re here!

I created WorkMom for mothers just like you going through this intense life transition. I’m passionate about transforming the way you think about balancing career and motherhood, helping you find clarity, confidence, and joy in both roles.

xoxo,
Mel
