Innovator in Maternal Wellness | Advocate for Working Parents | Executive Coach

Welcome! I'm So Glad You're Here.

I founded Leva to create real, human-centered solutions for parents navigating the complexities of modern work and life. As a mom and former corporate executive, I’ve lived the tension between ambition and caregiving—struggling through sleepless nights, the realities of breastfeeding, and the pressure to perform in high-powered roles. I created Leva to be the kind of support system I wish I’d had.

At Leva, we’re redefining what it means to support working families—combining personalized care, expert coaching, and cutting-edge technology with the warmth of human connection.

My Journey

With over 20 years of experience in internet technology, I’ve led product and design teams at companies like USAA, H&R Block, DIRECTV, and Clearcover. My leadership philosophy blends empathy and execution—building inclusive teams, launching transformative digital experiences, and solving hard problems with heart and data.

These principles are the backbone of Leva.

What Drives Me

My core values—Freedom, Integrity, Creativity, Curiosity, Nurturing, and Impact—guide everything I do. They inspire me to:

  • Empower parents and caregivers to thrive at home and at work

  • Build tools and systems that unlock growth

  • Advocate for equity and innovation in the workplace

A Bit About Me

I'm a proud mom to Roosevelt, my brilliant and curious 8-year-old, and wife to my partner-in-life, Justin. I love hiking, traveling, and creating space for mindfulness and reflection.

I hold:

  • BBA in Information Systems – University of the Incarnate Word

  • MS in Technology Commercialization – UT Austin, McCombs School of Business

  • Certificate in Women in Leadership – Cornell University
