I am a consultant with over eight years of experience addressing economic development challenges in the U.S. and abroad. My work at EBP spans corporate site selection, transportation and freight planning, market analysis, strategy development, and program evaluation. In the past, I have led and supported work with USDA, USAID, municipal and state governments, regional planning agencies, departments of transportation, port authorities, a Fortune 500 company, and community organizations. Jane is particularly interested in group decision-making and consensus-building strategies in both the public and private sector. This interest began during my service as a Community Economic Development Peace Corps Volunteer in Colombia (2018–2020) and deepened through work on U.S. Government-funded development projects in Latin America. I continue to draw on this experience in my current work, helping clients navigate complex, multi-stakeholder environments and make data-backed decisions
