In this premiere episode, I invite you into the story behind The Table I Built — a journey that started in the concrete apartments of Pasadena and led to the executive boardrooms of biotech.
From teenage motherhood to earning my MBA, from resilience to reinvention, this is the real, raw backstory of why I stopped waiting for a seat at someone else’s table — and built my own.
Through every setback, every pivot, and every quiet victory, I learned that the table isn’t just where you arrive — it’s what you create when the world underestimates you.
This is the beginning.
Welcome to The Table I Built.
