● About Me

I am a displaced federal worker and the creator behind this blog.

For nearly two decades, I served at USAID, leading programs in global health and humanitarian response. Then life shifted — I became my father’s caregiver, lost him, and watched the career I had built be dismantled.

Now, I’m rebuilding from scratch. Bureaucrat to Baby Steps is where I share the messy, hopeful journey of loss, legacy, and motherhood — one small step at a time.

This space is less about polished advice and more about real stories of transition, caregiving, and becoming a mother on my own terms.
