About the Founder

The Roots

As a woman who rose to leadership roles in public, private, and non-profit sectors and as a female entrepreneur, I’ve navigated through a host of issues women face in the business world while also dealing with the real-life personal issues many of us go through. As a divorced mom, I struggled finding myself after divorce while trying to also raise good kids. As a woman, I’ve dealt with the disparity in simple tasks like taking my car to the garage, calling a home repair person, buying a car and getting a loan. I established Elevare Women to bring that experience to a community of women, all with experiences to share, roadblocks to overcome, and a desire to collaborate, as we create a formidable Sisterhood of smart, capable women enriching, empowering and elevating other women.
