Behind LevelEDGE Consulting

Hi, I’m Fernanda Martinez Fabela, founder of LevelEDGE Consulting.

I’m a proud first-generation college graduate from the University of Maryland (Go Terps!) and a DMV native by way of Mexico. Born in Mexico and raised in Maryland, I’ve built a deep connection to this community and the people in it.

With 10 years of experience in strategic planning, program development, and process improvement, I’ve spent much of my career in the government contracting space, supporting federal programs that directly impact our communities. I bring five years of project management expertise, having led multi-disciplinary teams and overseen high-value government contracts with complex deliverables, tight deadlines, and high accountability.

Throughout my time in the public sector, I’ve successfully built programs from the ground up, developing operational frameworks, creating workflows, and implementing systems that improved efficiency, communication, and impact. I’ve led the design and execution of initiatives that not only met compliance requirements but also evolved into models of best practice. Whether improving outdated processes or building entirely new ones, I’ve learned how to navigate large systems while staying people-focused and results-driven.

Entrepreneurship runs in my blood. I come from a long line of business owners. From my great-grandfather to my father and siblings. Starting my own business felt less like a choice and more like a calling. And as the first in my family to earn a college degree, I’ve always approached life with a mindset of leveling up, pushing past limitations and turning challenges into opportunities.

This drive is what led me to create LevelEDGE Consulting, not only to help businesses grow, but also to support individuals through consulting that focuses on personal and professional development. I know what it’s like to wish someone had offered guidance during critical moments in life, and now I’m here to be that resource for others.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about travel and self-discovery. I’ve explored several countries solo, gaining valuable perspectives and a deeper appreciation for the world around me.

Above all, I’m excited to build a legacy rooted in purpose, growth, and community. Let’s connect, I’d love to support your journey too.
