About
Marissa D.

I’m an identical twin, mom to 3 kids under 4, I like to write poetry about my kids and pre-covid times kept juggling balls and legos on my desk at work to have as connection starters. I take the work I do seriously but never myself. I work to live and spend time with my family and have learned what happens when you don’t set boundaries the hard way. I lead a brand new function at a tech company and our team is building out some really cool People experiences and People products.

When I entered the workforce, I was lucky to have leaders who believed in me and mentored me and some of the best life and career advice that sticks with me to this day is from them. I have two people I've mentored over the past 4+ years and it's been a joy to see them grow! I'm excited to continue to pay that forward with an awesome company like twenty.

Marissa D.
can help with...

Navigating career as a young woman in tech, partnering with seasoned clients and executives when the imposter syndrome is real, HR real talk (salary, negotiation, providing visibility to your work, navigating career paths, influencing etc.), leading a team as a first time people leader, and navigating all that while being a working mom. Also, how to be true to yourself and have some fun. 💃

Need to externally process something you’re facing with a mentor who is a coach with a therapist vibe? I’m here for you. Some personal experiences I’m happy to share:

👉 How the heck you make friends and build community (ask me about my neighborhood book club!!),

👉 work-life “balance”,

👉 navigating ADHD in relationships and at work,

👉 two-mom parenting, parenting young kids (I have a 4 year old and twin 17-month olds),

👉 figuring out your values and what's important to you.

I’ve led learning & development at my last two companies so I’m also happy to pull out life journey maps, communication styles workshops etc. Whatever you might be interested in!

What people in my life come to me to talk about the most? Besides spotify playlist curation, they ask me about navigating their careers. I am also really passionate about mental health, supporting people who are helping those they love who are having a hard time, how to take care of themselves through it all. I’m a coach with a therapist vibe.
