Jerilyn Veldof
Although Jerilyn has lived in the great state of Minnesota for over 20 years, her New Jersey roots still make her feel like a fish out of [lake] water. Throughout this time, however, she’s learned a thing or two about Minnesota Nice and developed some useful coping skills, hallelujah! Jerilyn employs these skills daily as a Learning & Development leader.
