Your Professional Highlights: In 2018, I
JACKSON AND HYDE, co-founder & CEO
purchased the VanCapital Building in the SODO district, in downtown Spokane. We are a one-stop shop for all financial needs, with tenants including Country Financial, Mortgage Masters, VanCapital and The White Room. We host educational and networking events in the White Room to help foster economic development, education and a sense of community for young entrepreneurs in Spokane.

Community Work/ Volunteer/Board Work: In
2016, the 8 year old son of one of my clients passed away. I worked with Micah Love’s parents who wanted to honor him and make a difference in the community. We used his life insurance money to create the Love 11 foundation. We provide sports scholarships for underprivileged
and at-risk youth in Spokane as well as equipment grants to underfunded schools.
What is Your Next Big Thing? I am in the process of launching a local live television talk show in which we will discuss the future of Spokane, business, politics, charity, art and media. We will have a new interview guest on each episode.
How do You Make the Region a Better Place? It is so easy to complain or to criticize when we see a problem, but everyone has something they can offer to their community. I have and will continue to focus on bringing people together to unite and organize. We must be aware of how good we have it in Spokane and do everything in our power to educate the population, look out for the least fortunate, and support economic development in a responsible way.

Professional Highlight: Leaving the “corporate” world and starting JACKSON AND HYDE is the number one highlight of my professional career. This has been the biggest leap of my professional career and has been more challenging, fulfilling and rewarding than my husband Ryan and I could have ever imagined.

What is Your Next Big Thing? After four years of
working from our home, we recently moved into a new office space in downtown Hillyard. We love the community and we look forward to hiring some of Spokane’s best to join the JACKSON AND HYDE team as we continue to grow.
How do You Make the Region a Better Place? Since moving
here two years ago, we have begun to establish our favorite local go-to places and love supporting local small business owners. From antique shopping locally in Hillyard or grabbing a beer at Big Barn Brewery on Green Bluff to donating to local causes, we continue to immerse ourselves in our new community. We love the people here in Spokane and Coeur d’Alene and look forward to continuing to find ways to support and improve our new home community with respect.
