About Me

In her day-to-day role Kendra oversees internal and external marketing and communications, strategic partnerships, human resources, and wearing any other hat that gets tossed her way. Prior to helping found BIO in 2015, Kendra graduated from George Mason University and earned her Master’s Degree from VCU in Richmond, VA (Go Rams!). She has over two decades of experience in live events, brand building, marketing, and business management. In between putting out fires for BIO, Kendra also somehow finds time to be an amazing mom to three crazy kiddos, and to put up with her Co-Founder, Josh Eboch, who still has no idea how he landed such a catch.
