Becky is a MoM to her stepson 13 1/2 year old Jackson and 3 year old twins Oliver and Isabella (born February 2021). Becky and her family moved to the Lehigh Valley in 2020 from Brooklyn, NY (while pregnant) but had been for family visits many times prior since her husband, Justin, spent his high school years here at Saucon Valley High School. Becky grew up in California but has lived on the East Coast since 2012 and has loved it! Becky, Justin, Jackson, Oliver and Isabella currently live in Hellertown.
She joined MMLV virtually the month her twins were born and then in person a few months after they were born and home from the NICU. The support, advice, honesty and laughs from this group has got her through many hard times and she couldn’t have asked for a better Mom Tribe to raise her twins along with!
Becky is currently at home with Ollie and Izzy and also works part-time doing production operations for her previous employer in the Marketing and Events field. Prior to becoming a MoM, Becky was an Event Producer and Production Operations Lead for Manifold and also spent a few years teaching elementary school in CA just out of college.
She enjoys traveling, reading, hockey, reality TV and spending time with friends and family.
Some of our favorite family spots in the Lehigh Valley so far are:
Crayola Experience
Klein Farms
Easton Public Market
Trolley Barn Public Market
Quakertown Memorial Park
Wanderlust Beer Garden
Covered Bridge Park

administrative vice president
Karina is mom to soon-to-be 3 year-old twins, Sofia and Eva (born on June 4, 2021) and an incredible stepdaughter, Abbi who is 24 years old. She joined MMLV in May of 2021 (thanks to Aimee Cowan inviting her to join when she was 8 months pregnant with her girls). Joining the group is one of the best decisions she has ever made. The group is a source of ongoing support, insight, guidance, reassurance, engagement, community, and fun! She treasures the lifelong friendships that have come from this group.
Karina works full time as a Senior Client Manager in the health insurance industry that she has worked in for 24 years but her favorite title of all is Mama.
Karina is a proud Latina, born in Queens, New York and raised in the Lehigh Valley. She resides in Allentown with her husband Jed. Together, they remain active in their community. Karina currently serves on the Board of Trustees of ArtsQuest. She loves being on the beach, traveling (everywhere), enjoying live music, doing yoga, cheering on Penn State, reading, and spending time with her amazing family and friends.
She feels blessed to have incredible “bench strength” and a loving and trusted network of support and companionship.

secretary
Kelly is a mom to 4 1/2 year old Penelope, and 2 year old identical twin girls Marlowe and Lucy (born January 2022). She joined MMLV when her twins were ~5 months old, and was warmly greeted by such an amazing, supportive group of women. A Lehigh Valley native (born and raised in the Lower Saucon area) MMLV has been a wonderful way to connect with MoM’s across the region. Kelly, her husband Shawn, and the girls love to visit all the LV has to offer for family fun – parks, LV zoo, Crayola, trampoline parks, indoor play centers, etc.
In parallel with mom-life, Kelly is a regulatory professional in the Pharmaceutical Industry, currently working for a small biotech focused on the oncology therapeutic area. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, live music, Bravo, reading, good drinks, and the great restaurants in the LV.
