Bio:
Yevette was born and raised in Juneau, Alaska. She came to Oregon to attend Oregon State University. After leaving college she worked in retail management for several years before joining the SBDC team as a data entry assistant in 1992. Yevette currently serves as Portland SBDC’s Program Specialist and lead Orientation Instructor.
Her 25+ years of experience makes her an obvious “go to” person for support throughout the Oregon SBDC Network. Her historical knowledge and familiarity of the systems give her an ability to predict the impact any new systems will have on both clients and support staff, and she is frequently tapped to provide support to staff throughout the network.
