Collins reflects on her previous experiences in male-dominated environments and the rigid boundaries between work and personal life. While she appreciates the kindness and acknowledgment of personal milestones in her current role, she also notes the challenges that can arise in a workplace where these lines blur, indicating both benefits and drawbacks of such an atmosphere.
When I walked into work last year on my birthday, there was an envelope with my name written in cursive on my desk.
The all-female leadership and team where I work prioritize the organization's mission by fostering a kind, encouraging atmosphere for clients and employees.

By the mid-2010s, successive rounds of layoffs in my industry resulted in a less diverse workplace.
