I have two children.

And I honestly think that in the process of becoming a mom, as I went through my early career with no constraints, loving working, working very hard, you didn't really have to think about intentionality of how you spent your time.

And it was easy to give more time.

And I

enjoyed it, always loved what I've done.

And, you know, honestly, it's such an honor to get to contribute in this sector, in this field.

But I found that after I had kids, I knew in kind of my heart, and this actually, I had a very direct conversation with somebody very senior in one of the companies I work for.

My job had a little bit of flexibility in it.

And he was trying to convince me, you know, don't worry about it.

If you have a light Friday afternoon, just enjoy it.

Take it the time.

And it really crystallized in my mind that, you know, if I'm going to be away from my children, I really want my time to count.

It really mattered to me.

And it helped me think about prioritizing the right time, making time for them, but then really wanting to make a difference in my job and

When I now connect it to my current job, where I'm working in a field that is targeting, you know, our first indication is focused on ovarian cancer.

It's women's health.

When I talk to women that are battling ovarian cancer, I was at a walk very recently led by the national ovarian cancer coalition.

And a few women were willing, they were kind enough to share their stories with me.

And they both happen to have genetic mutations.

Because of that, their children had already been tested and they knew they had cancer.
