Kevin walked into high school every single day completely unaccounted for. No attendance verification. Hall passes were literal blocks of wood. And everyone just accepted it.

Kevin didn’t. As a student, he founded the Student Pipeline and became his district’s first-ever student liaison to the Board of Education, giving students a direct voice with the people making decisions about them. He learned early that the systems meant to serve students were rarely built with them in mind.

That lesson stuck. When he saw schools that couldn’t answer the most basic safety question - who is actually in this building right now? - he built MOOV. From writing the software to wiring the hardware to winning over skeptical administrators, he proved a young founder could solve a problem the education system had ignored for decades. MOOV is now featured on FOX and serving schools nationwide.

Kevin was also a walk-on to the Notre Dame Men’s Rowing Team and a United States Marine, two commitments that shaped everything that came after.

Samera grew up inside the education system (quite literally). She started preschool the same year her mother became an assistant teacher, and watching her mother rise from the classroom to school administration taught her early that education is both a responsibility and a privilege.

A salutatorian and engaged student, Samera thrived academically and in leadership, yet she was also chronically late. Not out of defiance, but because she struggled with motivation, structure, and behavioral accountability. Her graduation cap, decorated with late passes, told the story of a student who cared but felt the friction of systems that failed to change her behavior.

She didn’t dismiss that experience. She studied it. Samera pursued a dual BA/MA in Psychology at The New School, focused on what actually motivates students to show up and how systems can be designed to support behavior change, not just punish it.

That intersection of psychology, data, and operations led her to MOOV, where she helps schools modernize attendance, safety, and accountability - building systems that improve both student and administrator experiences.

From tutoring to designing language curriculum to teaching during summers, education was something June cared about long before it became a full-time career.

Safety wasn’t always part of the picture. That changed the day a serious safety threat was made against her school. Hers was a small public school, exactly the kind of place where everyone assumes nothing like that could ever happen. She understood then that safety isn’t a function of reputation or zip code. It can happen anywhere, to anyone.

Her fascination with education, how it works, who it serves, and all the forces pressing on it from the outside, led her to Barnard College of Columbia University, where she studied cognitive science and education, digging into how students learn, what shapes their behavior, and how the systems around them help or hinder them. From there, she entered the edtech world, working at a handful of startups building tools for schools.

Those threads - a love of education, a hard lesson in how fragile safety really is, and a builder’s sense of what schools will actually use - led her to MOOV. As Head of Customer Success, she draws on all of it, from the classroom time and the years spent watching what schools actually adopt, to make sure MOOV works for the people using it, not just on paper.

Turvey was born and raised in Beijing, China, and studied psychology and history at Pomona College in Los Angeles. He started making his own money at 18 and has been an entrepreneur ever since, building startups across education and technology.

At MOOV, Turvey brings that startup grit and his passion for EdTech together, driving multi-channel growth to bring MOOV to more schools and districts nationwide, while building real relationships with every partner along the way. As his dad always told him growing up, people live to create value for others. At MOOV, that means making schools safer and every student accounted for.
