Through her experience studying women in the workplace and her time in the corporate world as a management consultant, Adeline’s Room founder Christine Kim encountered a number of amazing professional women who struggled with challenging decisions around their careers, lifestyles and growing families. Through these encounters, Christine recognized the need for a space that helps and supports women as they go through the significant life transition of starting a family. Soon after this realization Adeline’s Room was born.

Adeline’s Room fuses both Christine’s business experience and her academic experience as a student of English Literature and Women’s Studies at Dartmouth College and a researcher at the Tuck School of Business. Christine was inspired by the author Virginia Woolf, whose first name was Adeline, and her belief that women need their own space to feel supported and productive.

Christine thanks her own mother for always encouraging her to live the life she imagined.
