These challenges do not prevent her from combining both her personal and professional life and to do this: Assuming roles that favor balance between professional and private life, she is content with more hybrid roles that allow her to working remotely while on-site and she sets boundaries for herself, like being intentional about her time off from work and knowing not to bring work home.
