Reva is on a mission to eliminate health illiteracy in this generation and protect the well-being of society’s most vulnerable through education. She began her career in print journalism in the early 2000s and went on to work in trade reporting, web content management, software systems engineering, instructional design, and search engine optimization, before pivoting to learning and development and digital learning consulting in 2011. Since then, she has worked in technology, HR, higher education, marketing, finance, healthcare and consulting industries designing, implementing and evaluating digital learning solutions for compliance, talent engagement, information security, sales enablement, leadership development, DEI&B, and health education.

In 2011, Reva established Reva Digital Media LLC to modernize workplace learning and development. In 2018, Reva founded Lessonbee, a culturally responsive online health education and wellness check-in solution for schools and districts. In 2024, she launched Health Education Heroes™, a nonprofit organization that provides capacity building programs for health, wellness and SEL teachers, after validating the programs impact on teachers across 4 states starting in 2023. As Reva found her passion in driving positive outcomes in the health arena through education, so too has Reva Digital evolved as an instructional design consultancy for healthcare clients.

In 2020, Reva was named one of the “100 most influential African Americans” of the year by The Root for Lessonbee, which they called “an innovation that makes coming of age less confusing.” Lessonbee has been featured in Forbes, FastCompany, and TechCrunch and backed by Google, Verizon, and AWS. Prior to Lessonbee, Reva built the digital learning arms of Razorfish University and Liquidnet University from 2013 – 2019, and in 2024, she joined RYTES Company as Provost of RYTES University where she leads efforts to improve the quality of care at skilled nursing facilities and ancillary service providers through online education and certification programs.
