The CEO of RenewMe brand, Dr. Palmer will soon join the ranks of few women founders in the iOS tech space, and even fewer minority women in the business of tech. A half-Dominican, half-Italian American, she is also set to become the first psychotherapist to develop a superapp in the space of mental health. Dr. Palmer brings a breadth of expertise to every aspect of RenewMe from design to content. A nationally renowned psychotherapist and popular media personality, she is also the official “siri” of RenewMe heard on over 500+ tracks featured in the app.
She leads RenewMe with the vision, passion, and dedication of true entrepreneurial spirit, and applies her background in systems theories and organizational consulting, to RenewMe’s revolutionary concept in development with former Apple engineers.
Born and raised in Rhode Island, Dr. Palmer has applied her own solution-based approaches to achieving personal success. She embodies the essence of the American Dream – to believe in yourself and live a purpose-driven existence. This is the soul behind RenewMe brand, which is more than just a superapp, it’s an inspiration set to make a global imprint on the world through smartphone technology.
