Welcome back to Jessica Rudden, The Forge program coordinator, who returned from parental leave in January! We also thank Heather Brunt who served as the program coordinator in her absence for the past two years. Jessica manages the office and finances, ensuring that all of our operations run smoothly. She joined The Forge back in 2015 as one of the first team members who assisted in shaping The Forge into the successful organization it is today. She believes everyone should spend their lives doing what sets their soul on fire and she is delighted to support entrepreneurs doing just that. Prior to her role at The Forge, Jessica specialized in sales in both the hospitality and retail sectors.
