Nancy
Project Manager
"Transitioning from my marketing roots to the role of Project Manager at Open Path (parent company of the 828Collective) has been a journey of continuous learning and adaptation. With 18 years as the Director of Marketing Communications at North Star Resource Group in Minneapolis, my professional journey has been deeply tied to a personal commitment to upholding excellence and integrity, fueled by my faith in God."
Meet Nancy, a Project Manager at 828Collective, where she oversees tasks like SEO research, content development, CRM data analysis, client workshops, and invoicing. Since moving to Texas in 2011, Nancy has balanced multiple part-time roles, including serving as an Office Administrator at Edward Jones, working as a private consultant, and a Sales Executive for a third-party logistics company. A Hamline University graduate, Nancy holds a degree in Marketing Communications/Business Administration with a minor in French.
Nancy is committed to ongoing learning, earning multiple HubSpot certifications. In her previous role at North Star, she facilitated key achievements like the BBB Integrity Award, earned recognition as a "Top 25 Woman Industry Leader in the Twin Cities," and initiated the first telemarketing pilot program, paving the way for remote work before it became widespread.
Guided by faith, love, and family, Nancy finds joy in supporting her team and helping clients thrive within 828Collective's collaborative, kingdom-focused culture. She brings a fun-loving, competitive spirit to weekly team meetings and events like lively Christmas parties.
Outside the office, Nancy is passionate about supporting Gold Ribbon and Pyr Paws Fluffy Tails Rescues, where she volunteers her time for various initiatives. She also cherishes moments with her "tripod" Golden Retriever and Great Pyrenees, embraces a toxin-free lifestyle, and enjoys gardening, cooking, and staying active with yoga, strength training, and cardio.
