NICE TO MEET YOU
I’m Heather Nemelka
Eleven years ago, my husband filed for divorce. Suddenly, I had to return to the workforce to provide for my 5 children. It was scary and difficult (I cried a lot), but I got a job, and I'm now a successful marketing leader, global speaker, and board director.
Elavare is my mission to help mothers build confidence and return to the workforce. Wherever you are on your journey, I want to give you the tools, resources, and community that I didn't have. I've helped other women, and I want to help you!
