Our Leadership

We are MAEVE.
A team of mothers.

Our organization is led by a dedicated team of mothers who are committed to empowering and supporting fellow moms in our community. Our leadership structure consists of an Executive Board and Coordinators, each playing a vital role in driving our mission forward.

Lauren O’Neill

President

Lauren grew up in Tracy and now calls Lathrop home with her husband, Sean, and their daughter, Sadie. She works from home as a Project Manager in the powersports industry. When she's not working, you can usually find her planning her next trip, reading a good book, or attempting to keep her sourdough starter alive. Lauren is passionate about creating a welcoming space where moms can find friendship and support, by making this chapter feel like home for every member. 

Jennifer Hooper

VP of Programming

Jennifer is a mom to three (who she personally thinks are amazing) children who are her whole world. Everything she does is inspired by them, and she loves finding ways to make each day fun, memorable, and full of adventure. In the rare moments she has to herself, you'll usually find her with a good book or audiobook, or curled up binge-watching crime, action, and mystery shows. She believes in making the most of life's little moments, creating meaningful memories, and embracing the beautiful chaos that comes with raising a family.

Rebeca Groves

VP of Communications

Rebeca is a 28-year-old stay-at-home mom to her two kids and has been married for six years to the love of her life. Her family is truly the center of her world, and she loves embracing all the beautiful chaos that comes along with motherhood. She homeschools and spends most of her days juggling mom life, activities, appointments, and whatever adventure her kids have planned for her next. When she actually gets a minute to herself, Rebeca almost always has an audiobook playing especially if it’s romance, the darker the better. She loves coffee, country music, sports, Disneyland (especially going with her cousins on the girl trips with the kids), getting out of the house for little adventures, and finding any excuse to plan something fun. She’s happiest when she’s busy and will fully admit that she somehow thrives in chaos. She joined MAEVE looking for friendship and community for herself and her kids, but quickly fell in love with everything the village represents. As VP of Communications, she hopes to help moms feel seen, included, and comfortable showing up exactly as they are—while probably having about 37 new ideas along the way.

Suzana Carrasco

VP of Membership

Suzana was born in Brazil, lived in the Bay Area for many years, and has happily called Manteca home since 2016.

She’s married to her best friend, and together they’re raising their handsome little boy. They’re a trilingual family who loves embracing all the little adventures that come with parenthood.

She loves cooking and making memories with her son in the kitchen, exploring new places together, and ending the day with a good movie or TV show. She also has two big dogs who keep life entertaining! Most importantly, their faith and church are at the heart of everything they do.

Heather Womack

Secretary

Heather is a homeschool mom to two girls, with one busy dance kiddo and one who can’t wait to start her first dance class this season. Most days, Heather is juggling dance life with an iced coffee in hand.Whenever she gets the chance, she loves getting lost in a good book. Heather joined MAEVE looking for community and homeschool support as a new homeschool mom and quickly found a place where her family felt at home. She’s excited to serve as Secretary and looks forward to supporting the chapter while helping other moms find connection, encouragement, and their own village.

Marina Padilla

Treasurer

Marina is married to her best friend, and together, they are raising two beautiful children who keep them on their toes and fill their lives with endless love, laughter, and adventure. Marina deeply believes in the power of literature and the magic of storytelling. She and her children love exploring the outdoors, discovering the beauty of the world, and always having a book in hand! For their family, every adventure is an opportunity to learn, grow, and create memories that last a lifetime.
