Author: Single Professional Mother

First and foremost, I am a mother. I deem it the most important title I hold and I allow it to define me. After separating from my husband and eventually carrying my family through divorce, I realized as a single mother, I had to succeed. I was now the head of my household and two young children depended on me making it. I pursued my career goals and I was determined to achieve them despite my circumstances. I have carried the title, Executive Assistant, for over a decade and mastered managing-up  top executives of companies in a variety of industries. I consider myself a career-driven, ambitious mother and my extraordinary daughters  inspire me to become the best version of myself.
