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, Coordinators, and Committee Team Members, each playing a vital role in driving our mission forward.
Tabatha McAnally
President
Tabatha grew up in the Central Valley and after pursuing higher education at Cal Poly and UC Hastings, she returned to her hometown of Manteca with her husband in 2017. Her and her husband built their photography and videography business together, and enjoy the freedom that self employment gives them, including the ability to homeschool their daughter. She has a 6 year old daughter and a beloved cat and bernadoodle dog. Tabatha loves crafting, DIY projects, outdoor adventures, and quality time with friends and family.
Tabatha led the launch of MAEVE South San Joaquin in 2021 and is the founding President of the Chapter. Her passion for leadership, inclusivity, and community impact were the driving forces behind her efforts to facilitate a supportive community of local mothers. She loves building new friendships and empowering others, and is proud of this growing village of support for local mothers; a place to belong, to grow, to be supported, respected, and encouraged.
Katie Steward
VP of Membership & Treasurer
Katie grew up in the East Bay area and moved to the valley 10 years ago with her husband. Although she's a Licensed Vocational Nurse and Certified Lactation Counselor, she's been enjoying being a stay-at-home mom for the last seven years and counting. She has three young kids ranging from 1 year to 7 years old and her family is on their 3rd year of homeschooling. Katie has been on the MAEVE SSJ Board since the chapter first started in 2021. She loves personally connecting with other moms and feels passionate about the chapter's ever-evolving presence and commitment to the community as a whole.
Tiffany Holley
Secretary
Tiffany was born in the Bay Area and moved to San Joaquin County in the early 2000s. She now resides in Modesto with her husband of 12 years, their 17-year-old daughter, 5-year-old son, two dogs, cat, and four chickens. Tiffany homeschools her youngest child and works as a Realtor, serving California’s 209 area. Joining the board has allowed her to give back to the community she loves while building lasting friendships and connections.
Michelle Stalkfleet
VP of Programming
Michelle is a stay-at-home mom to two daughters, born in 2020 and 2023. Her family is in their first year of homeschooling and loves camping, spending time outdoors, and enjoying a simple life. Michelle joined MAEVE shortly after her youngest was born and she quickly realized the value in being a part of this community of moms. In July 2024, she joined the MAEVE Board as VP of Programming, hoping to help create a welcoming environment for other moms and their kids who are seeking their ‘village,’ just as she was.
Linda Whitehead
VP of Communications
Linda Whitehead is the VP of Communications for MAEVE South San Joaquin, a position she has held since 2024. She lives in Manteca, CA, with her husband, Michael, their two children, Sara and Kyle, and their two little dogs, Kona and Lily.
