Just home from an inspiring few days with an amazi Just home from an inspiring few days with an amazing group of women at the #EY WABN (Women’s Athlete Business Network) Roundtable in Portland.  Over the past year I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with a mentor to help me think through my career transition post sport alongside many other female athletes from around the globe.  It’s been a huge help for me to get clear on my purpose, values and priorities and especially fun to connect with so many incredible people.  A big thanks to #EY for supporting this program!! #eywabn
