Profile

Hi I’m Jeanine! A Strategy Deviser, Marketing Professor and Brand Advocate. Self described as a solar powered big thinking entrepreneur with a passion for flip-flops and travel.

With over 25 years of experience in creative communications and strategic development, I have been transforming companies, classrooms, and communities by giving them the tools to understand, leverage and communicate their competitive advantage. As the founder and chief strategist of Biz in Bloom, a branding and communications consultancy, I have successfully delivered projects for various industries, from fashion to technology, using innovative and effective solutions.

As a passionate educator and facilitator, I get to share my expertise and insights with the next generation of leaders and changemakers. I have been teaching marketing, branding and communications courses in higher education for nearly 2 decades. My favorite part of teaching is being able to mentor students on their path to success.

Additionally, I am a certified social-emotional learning (SEL) facilitator, wellness and yoga practitioner through Breathe For Change, a mission-driven organization that enhances the health and well-being of educators, students, and communities.

Planting the seeds for success in companies, classrooms and communities is what I love to do, and I do what I love everyday through my teaching and my company Biz in Bloom.

I have received an MBA from Pepperdine University in Marketing and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Boston University.
