Wendy is the President & Co-Founder of Illuminos, a passion project born from her experiences growing up with numerous family members with ADHD and other learning differences.

A lifelong supporter of children’s causes, Wendy has been a long-time advocate for the Children’s Hospital & Children’s Health Network and has raised more than $625,000 for the facility.
Wendy holds a Juris Doctorate from Georgetown University Law Center, and a BS, cum laude, from the University of Maryland. Prior to founding Illuminos, she spent 25 years as an attorney, General Counsel and COO of publicly traded companies gaining a broad range of experiences that she leverages today in managing Illuminos.
Wendy lives in Ashburn, Virginia with her husband, Antonio, their 5 children, Sofia, Stella, Lola, Emme, & Grayson, and their 2 Golden Retrievers, Coco and Luna, and their 2 Bengal cats, Milo and Riley.
