Rebecca's professional journey began at the early age of seven when she went door-to-door selling Christmas cards from a catalog out of a cardboard briefcase. Her resume includes serving as the national sales & marketing director for a homeland security firm specializing in safety equipment, which took her across 38 states. She later was instrumental in helping to found two marketing firms, a research firm, & a startup liquor brand. Although her career path has been diverse, her passion for building businesses and forming connections has remained unwavering.Now she is returning back to the East Coast after 5 years in San Diego and to open the East Coast office of Maternal Care Institute. Founded by a Mama, Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Proven Entrepreneur, Maternal Care Institute works exclusively with businesses supporting moms from conception through childbirth and into postpartum. The Maternal Care Institute provides strategic research and advisory services that help companies obtain the insights they need to create and scale compelling, commercially viable offerings for the global maternity market. Our goal is to ensure products sell in, sell through, and sell out. We answer the tough “what” and “why” questions by leveraging two panels of hard-to-reach audiences: new mom consumers and maternity care providers, using a mix of modern qualitative and quantitative research.Rebecca is also passionate about nonprofits and the arts. Over the years she’s served on multiple boards, including holding the positions of chairwoman for the Prince William County Red Cross Volunteer Council and the Manassas City Business Council. When Rebecca’s not making connections in her community, she and her rescue dog Sheba enjoy taking long drives and trips to the dog park.Words To Live By “Be here now.” – Ram Dass
