ABOUT THE COMPANY

Climbing Trees Consulting

I quit my job when I had my daughter, Delilah. I was at the peak of my career. I’d been in engineering leadership for 8 years, but I was finally managing my own big department of 120 people. I loved it. I was solving age-old problems, I was getting to take my department in the direction I always wanted it to go. I was learning how to be a real leader that people respected and looked to for answers. It was the best job I ever had.

But… it wasn’t fulfilling. I didn’t have any internal connection to sending paper out the door to customers, and that was always a problem for me. I tried a lot of things. I shadowed an orthotist/prosthetist. I thought for a minute I wanted to be a chef (seriously). I joined a grad program for mental health counseling. Ultimately, I got pregnant and decided that I’d stay home with her and try to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I ended up joining a Masters program in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. It's taught me how to use psychology to get ahead at work, to navigate people & cultures, and how to use that knowledge to motivate others. In a word - it’s been perfect for me. So when I thought about what was next, I decided to combine my experience in engineering and organizational psychology to help female engineers with the same exact struggles that I faced.

Climbing Trees Consulting was founded in June of 2023. Thanks for being along for the ride.
