Meet Me
Hello! My name is Lela (Lee-luh) I am excited to welcome you to my little corner of the internet and to make your acquaintance!
I have been in the design and marketing field for over a decade with a Bachelor’s Degree in Design from Full Sail University, a Master’s Degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology, and I am currently working on my Dissertation to complete my Doctorate Degree at Purdue University in Technology with a focus on Innovation and Leadership.
I have spent the last 12 years of my life in the entrepreneurial space in various avenues. I am non-profit passionate and truly enjoy working in teams. I wear a lot of different hats a mother, a Professor, and a coach. I enjoy reading tremendously and highly consider Coffee and Dark Chocolate as two of my main three food groups. My favorite color is green and my favorite food is easily sushi. For those of you who love psychology my MBPT teeters right on the line of ENTJ & INTJ depending on the day and circumstance of the test.
I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you more!
