Entrepreneur. Environmentalist. Explorer.

Hi, my name is Jodie!

I have a bachelors degree in chemical engineering from UCLA that I am definitely (not) putting to use in my current role as the operations manager for a clean-label pet supplement startup. I organize and optimize business processes for everything operations — from production and procurement to quality and regulations.

I am a Venture for America Fellow and, most recently, a founder of a farmers market food stand, Bao Box STL. Check out our menu here.

Previously, I’ve worked as a validation engineering consultant for pharmaceutical manufacturing companies and briefly as a field organizer for Andrew Yang’s 2020 presidential campaign.

In my spare time, I love to read, hike, travel and cook. Summaries and reviews of my current reads can be found here!
