Jennifer Calhoun

Jennifer grew up in rural NW Tennessee, then moved to Illinois for graduate school and have lived in Portland, Oregon ever since. She has a Masters Degree in Human Resources and Industrial Relations and a decade of experience in collective bargaining and contract administration. For nearly two decades, she balanced traditional academics and corporate employment with one “side hustle” after another to feed her need for entrepreneurial pursuit. Then in 2017 she decided to trade in that “side hustle” mentality and get serious about business ownership, and later left the steady corporate job to dedicate herself full time to her family’s small business, G.I. Junk Removal. Now, she continues to run the business with her husband while she’s also pursuing her MBA with a focus in entrepreneurship from Babson College.

Her superpower is the ability to quickly synthesize data and information to create efficient systems and achieve complex goals.
