I am a Jackie of all trades, and love to hear about new concepts, businesses, and solutions! In a previous life, I consulted for start-up and developed companies, mainly in a marketing and branding capacity, so I know a little about a lot of industries (including, but not limited to: food & beverage, wine & spirits, sustainability, recycling, construction, manufacturing & supply chain, consumer packaged goods, hospitality, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics).

I am relatively new to the Twin Cities, having moved here in March, but have immersed myself in the start-up and entrepreneurship culture fairly rapidly and am glad to open what network I DO have to fellow entrepreneurs (or aspiring entrepreneurs).

I will be in Santiago, Chile from 10/1/16 through 1/31/17 participating in Start Up Chile's accelerator program for Re-Module. I am also more than happy to provide information about this program, as well as The Cleantech Open, both of which have been very helpful to our company.

Business aside, I am always open to a good chat - especially if it's a conversation about travel, culture, languages, craft beer, or college basketball (disclaimer: die-hard University of Kentucky fan; recently inaugurated fan of all teams Minneapolis, too).
