burnout culture
Scientist. Engineer. Entrepreneur. Author.
I am a chemical engineer, scientist, entrepreneur, wife and mother of two, with a passion for innovation, business and personal growth.
With a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Leeds, I have spent my career solving complex problems, leading teams and turning ideas into reality. But entrepreneurship taught me something my scientific training hadn't fully prepared me for: building a business is just as much about building yourself.
My entrepreneurial journey has been filled with ambition, lessons, setbacks and the constant challenge of balancing business, career, family and personal wellbeing.
I wrote Build the Founder First to share those experiences and the practical lessons I've learned along the way.
My belief is simple: Success should not come at the expense of the life you are trying to build.
Through my writing, I hope to help aspiring and established entrepreneurs make better decisions, build stronger businesses and create lives that feel as fulfilling as their ambitions.
A stronger founder builds a healthier business and a fuller life.
After years navigating startup growth and the inevitable friction of scaling, my work shifted away from endless hustle toward deliberate personal architecture. True venture resilience begins when leaders master their inner cadence before demanding results.
I build frameworks that equip founders to sustain momentum, protect creative clarity, and lead with optimism through every market cycle.
