She is passionate about empowering Moms to speak about their own stories; her own journey into Motherhood is what sparked her venture into writing. She is an advocate for gender equality in the workplace for women. Treating gender diversity like the business priority it is, promotes self-worth empowerment for working Mothers. The Virtual Mom Collective was founded on this principle. Her desire is that the VMC serves as a platform of support and community that enable Moms to speak their truths during #thisnewnormal. She encourages you to reach out to her denise@virtualmomcollective.com to share your journey and collaborate. On the weekends you can find Denise enjoying her Cuban coffee, reading books, creating content and photographing the daily adventures of her daughter and son. As a woman returning to the workforce after a brief maternity leave; she tackled many challenges along the way. She wants to let Moms out there know they are not alone; and your Mom tribe starts with you; because Mother is a Verb.
