My initial vision for Sky Oro was to create a space where women could come together in support of one another - a space where we could show up for ourselves and be inspired, undistracted, and purposeful.
Since the inception of Sky Oro, I have practiced leaning into every supportive human that I have met. I have experienced first hand the discomfort, the unknown, the growth and the activation that goes along with building something that lights me up and allows me to be the change that I would like to see in the world.
I co-founded Sky Oro in 2019, with a 1 month old and a business partner who was 6 months pregnant. We set this audacious goal to find 200 Founding Members and raise $200k in order to bring our Sky Oro vision to life.
In 6 short weeks we welcomed 233 Founding Members, and raised just shy of $250k. 6 months later we opened the doors to this space that has changed countless lives, and I dove head first into life as an entrepreneur, a mom, a business owner, all while being a full time employee.
Nothing could have prepared me for the tragedy of a pandemic, the loss of my business partnership, and the gut wrenching journey of personal and professional growth that I would go on to keep this space alive for the women that needed it in those times, and the women that would need it for years into the future.
I am not here to be a business guide or a coach, but rather to be a holder of space and a beacon of hope for hundreds of women like you who desire to build something that, for all intents and purposes, might not make sense to anyone but you.
In my journey, I have found this to be true: Everything becomes possible when we have access to humans that believe in us, in hard work and in the truly transformative power of women supporting women.
“Joining Sky Oro has been essential for me as a corporate professional. It’s not just about the beautifully designed space, but the supportive community of ambitious women. It’s like having my own dynamic hub where my work thrives, AND I have a community that truly understands and supports my journey.”

“I'm so grateful for the experiences I've had since joining less than a year ago! From the array of strong and vibrant women I've met, to the authentic and grounded conversations I've savored, to the purpose-driven events I've attended -- the Sky Oro Community is exactly what I was yearning for ... and I've only "dipped my toe" into the depth of its full potential.
I think of Sky Oro as our own, local, and real-time manifestation of what Brene Brown shares about Vulnerability and Daring Greatly. I've appreciated the opportunity to lean into my own learning curves -- both in business and in life -- while surrounded by other women who are also striving, growing, risking, and succeeding. It's a beautiful thing!”
