What if the path to your dream career started with wrecking your car?
Thatâs how Trina Limpertâs incredible journey began… One fateful day after having to ride her bike to her part-time job sliding around the greasy floors of a fast food joint, she realized she was meant for something more.
Today, Trina is a tech powerhouse, the founder of Tech Moms, founder of RizeNext Corp, a bestselling author, and Utah Businessâs Most Influential Woman of 2024.
This Motherâs Day, weâre celebrating women like Trinaâmoms, mentors, and entrepreneursâwho are redefining success and creating new opportunities for the next generation.
⨠âEvery job is a tech job now. Hands down, you need to know tech.â â Trina Limpert
From Farm Girl to Tech Executive
Trina grew up one of ten kids on a rural farm, chasing goats and dreaming big. But it wasnât until a crash course in Pascal programming (a now-extinct coding language!) that her passion for technology ignited.
From there, she blazed a trail through roles at Novell, eBay, and Oracleâdesigning, marketing, and leading global teams in enterprise software.
Despite all her success, one thing kept bothering her: Why werenât more women in tech?
Turning Anger into Action
đĽ âI started Tech Moms out of anger. I was tired of hearing âWomen just donât go into tech.ââ
Trina saw a massive disconnect. While companies were hiring talent from overseas, highly educated women in her own neighborhood were being overlooked. She decided to change that.
Since launching Tech Moms, Trina and her co-founders have trained over 700 women, helping them transition into high-paying, flexible tech jobs. Graduates see an average pay increase of 42%âthatâs life-changing impact.

Finding Your Spark
Whether youâre 15 or 50, Trina believes your purpose is already inside youâitâs just waiting to be uncovered.
đ§ âThink back: What toys did you love as a kid? Thatâs your spark.â
She built motorized cars for her Barbies using an erector set. Today, she builds programs that drive womenâs careers forward. Whether itâs engineering, coding, or quilting (yes, quilting!), Trinaâs message is clear:
đ âYouâre more powerful than you think you are. Donât let anyone put you in a box.â
Speaking Up & Showing Up
Trinaâs story reminds us that our differences are our strengths. As the only woman in many of her tech classes and corporate teams, she often had to speak upâeven when it was uncomfortable.
But when she did, magic happened.
đď¸ âI raised my hand and shared an idea. They said, âWhy didnât we think of that?â That was the moment I realized I belong.â
To every girl whoâs felt out of place in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), to every mom returning to work, and to every young entrepreneur with a dream:
đĽ You belong. And the world needs your voice.
