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 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 in their professional and personal lives - 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.
