The path to becoming Vice President of The Biz Foundry wasn't a straight line for Tiffany Anton. Though she started her career with a mathematics degree and education certification, teaching high school in Virginia for five years, life took an unexpected turn with the birth of her first daughter. This led to moves across the country – New Mexico and then back south to Cookeville, Tennessee – where her second daughter was born.
Settling in Cookeville, Tiffany's passion for helping others blossomed. Volunteering with the Heart of the City playground build and Blood Assurance sparked a fire, leading her to use her social media skills for the Cookeville Children's Museum. This volunteer work blossomed into a larger position, where she honed her skillset.
Opportunity knocked in 2017 when The Biz Foundry advertised a marketing position. Though Tiffany initially thought it might be a small part-time role, it turned out to be a pivotal moment in her career. One of her first major projects was creating "Start Here," a free magazine highlighting local Upper Cumberland entrepreneurs. This ignited a passion for supporting small businesses, and Tiffany hasn't looked back since.
Her journey at The Biz Foundry has been diverse. From organizing events and workshops to revamping memberships and managing the co-working space, Tiffany has worn many hats. But her most inspiring venture might be the "Powered by Her" podcast, featuring female founders.
Driven by a desire to empower entrepreneurs, Tiffany welcomes your ideas! Whether it's workshops, connections, or networking events, she's there to help you imagine, launch, and grow your business.
