Facilitator & Moderator
In 2022, I was diagnosed with lipolymphedema, a progressive stage of Lipedema, a misunderstood and misdiagnosed disease characterized by painful fat deposits, often affecting mobility in later stages. Lipedema affects all aspects of life and impacts 1 in 11 women.
Navigating lipolymphedema has deepened my understanding of leadership philosophy, leading to the development of the FIRM Leadership Model, which aims to create inclusive workplaces.
My journey with lipolymphedema has transformed me professionally and personally. While my experiences in Silicon Valley provided insights into leadership, recent years have highlighted the impact of biases and lack of understanding regarding hidden disabilities, chronic illness, fat bias, and inclusivity in the workplace, influencing my leadership approach.
