The Mayo Families' Connection executive board is comprised of volunteer members of MFC. Our group is always looking for new members to volunteer. If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions for the group, please email mayofamiliesconnection@gmail.com.
Savannah is a senior tax accountant from Sweet Home Alabama. She enjoys exploring local restaurants and social scenes, traveling to new destinations, and bee-boppin’ around HomeGoods. She is a dedicated dog mom to a lovable and sassy German Shepherd named Sasha, who thinks she’s the real boss of the household.
Gabriel moved to Rochester with his wife, Sara, when she began her PhD program. Outside of work, he stays active through sports and basketball coaching at the Rochester Athletic Club, enjoys exploring local restaurants, and spending time outdoors.
Lauren is a registered nurse from Atlanta, Georgia, who loves traveling, being outdoors, and enjoying a good glass of wine (or two). In February 2024, she and her husband welcomed their first baby, kicking off a new adventure. When she's not busy traveling with her little one, you can find her hiking around Rochester with her baby and dog, likely planning her next trip, meeting new people, and debating whether wine pairs better with baby bottles or dog treats.
Leonie moved to Rochester in August 2025 from Vienna, Austria. She originally studied Hospitality Management and Marketing before transitioning into pastry baking, and has spent the past several years working in French-style bakeries. Leonie and her husband share a love for travel and discovering new foods and flavors around the world. They are also devoted to their very high-energy dachshund, who relocated with them to the U.S. and keeps Leonie busy while she awaits her U.S. work permit.
Originally from Chicago, Bernice recently moved to Rochester with her husband. She’s currently on a career break after working in consulting, tech, and fitness, and is spending her time exploring design, community, and creative projects. She is a big fan of movement, good food, and living in a small zoo with a dog and two cats.
Olivia is a research data analyst and an avid outdoor lover. Prior to her husband starting medical school they spent 3 months traveling around the US hiking the 50 state high points. In her spare time you will find her walking, hiking, biking, cross-country or downhill skiing.
Adam is an attorney by day (and sometimes, by night). He and his wife (an IM Resident) are parents to one toddler and three cats. Beyond family time, he enjoys board games, podcasts, cooking, pinball, and investing too much emotional energy in adults playing children’s games (especially when the Los Angeles Dodgers, Creighton Bluejays, or Michigan Wolverines are involved).
