The Wealth
Collaborative
We are a dynamic networking group tailored for business professionals committed to wealth building and positively impacting our community.
Our core membership is composed of the founding members, each representing a different industry. To ensure diversity and exclusivity, we allow only one member per industry category within the core group. This structure fosters collaboration without competition, allowing members to fully support one another in their business ventures.
While our core membership is exclusive, we believe in creating broader opportunities for connection and growth. That's why we also host events and mixers that are open to all professionals, providing a platform for networking and community engagement.
Our members share a common goal of financial prosperity and are dedicated to fostering a supportive environment. Through collaborative efforts, we aim to enhance individual and collective wealth, recognizing that success is not only measured in financial gains but also in contributing to the well-being of our beautiful community. This is a journey where ambition meets community-building for lasting success.
The Wealth Collaborative is a 501 C3 Nonprofit
Reno, Nevada, USA

WEALTH COLLABORATIVE FOUNDER
Residential Realtor
RE/MAX Professionals S.0194630
My name is Marika Moore, and I am a passionate Real Estate Advisor who has spent decades helping people build better lives through education, career guidance, and advocacy. I hold a Master’s degree in International Affairs from the University of Nevada, Reno, where I also gained experience teaching and working with diverse communities around the world.
My career began in education and career advising, which led me to over time as a caseworker supporting seniors and individuals with disabilities. Through each chapter of my life, one thing has remained constant—my commitment to helping people feel supported, informed, and empowered. Real estate brings all of those passions together, allowing me to serve clients with care, expertise, and a deep understanding of the local market. I value strong relationships, clear communication, and a smooth, stress-free experience for every buyer and seller I serve.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my husband, children, and animals. I look forward to expanding my impact by leading a local nonprofit that supports charities and strengthens local businesses.
For you, first and foremost, you can count on me guiding you through your real estate adventures as your trusted advisor and consultant.

ROBIN STURM
Certified Educator of Infant Massage
All The Littles
Massage therapy was more than a profession for Robin—it was a calling rooted in helping others heal, restore, and reconnect with their bodies. Life required major pivoting in 2015, and she could no longer practice.
A few years later while massaging her seven-month-old daughter, she rediscovered her love for nurturing touch and recognized the profound impact massage could have on infants and families. This experience inspired her to pursue infant massage education and advocacy.
In 2021, she completed training with the International Association of Infant Massage and became a Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM). Today, she is passionate about supporting families through this gentle, evidence-based practice, helping strengthen bonding, communication, and connection. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside parents and caregivers during such a formative and precious season of life.
