Hey there, I’m Jennifer.

With over 20 years in the beverage industry, I’ve witnessed the incredible potential and untapped power of women in this field.

After receiving my master's in organizational leadership, I recognized the importance of access to a program that helped women identify their leadership style and tap into their network to help advance their professional lives, yet not be a lengthy program that didn’t fit with already busy schedules.

This is how Rooted Connections came to be.

The beverage industry is poised for transformation, so it’s my mission to provide women with the guidance, resources, and unwavering support they need to seize the opportunities that lie before them.

Together, we can write a new chapter in the industry’s history.
