After decades of hard work in contracting and program management, she realized she wanted to form a company that genuinely cared for its customers and employees.

She has learned what does and doesn't work through personal experience and never wants to be a President/CEO who doesn't know her people.

She encourages employees to contact her if they ever want or need to; therefore, she keeps her cell phone number in her email signature. She wants Leo Tech to feel like a family and for everybody to reach their full potential. She wants to empower employees and help them succeed professionally and personally, but she never wants to limit an individual's growth. There are endless possibilities and opportunities for success when people work together toward a common goal honorably and compassionately.
