Jade Boufford

Jade spent her early childhood years near the beach in Oceanside, California, but Las Vegas is the answer she gives when someone asks where home is. Eventually escaping the heat and moving to attend college alongside her sister at Southern Oregon University, Jade called the charming city of Ashland, Oregon her home for nearly 10 years. Jade holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from SOU, and a certificate in Nonprofit Management. Throughout the past 10 years, Jade has worked in the nonprofit sector in accounting and management. This continued work informs her compassionate and mindful approach to equity, inclusion, and sustainability in communities.

Jade loves to people watch, listen to music, and pet every dog in Golden Gate Park. In her free time, you’ll catch her on a long run or hosting dinner parties for her tight-knit group of friends. She is an avid Scrabble player and a die-hard 20/20 fan.
