Jessi Burg
Founder
I am the founder of Outgrow Your Garage! I received my Bachelor’s Degree from St Lawrence University, and my Master’s in Environmental Leadership from Naropa University.
I built Outgrow Your Garage around my passion for accessible, affordable learning and inclusivity in the business world. I aim to further my advocacy work in underserved communities by using my personal experiences and steadfast passion for small business support.
Fun Fact
- I love to do the New York Times Crossword Puzzle every day.

Taryn Shaw
Executive Assistant
I studied at Florida Southwestern State College before moving to Colorado.
I joined Outgrow Your Garage because it became clear that service-based businesses are often underserved and lacking in business development opportunities. My goal is to help others realize their full business potential.
Fun Fact
- I love to adventure in the mountains with my dogs and learn about local plants.

Catherine O’Donnell
Education Research Intern
I am the education research intern at Outgrow Your Garage! I am graduating high school in June and will be attending Tulane University in the fall.
I joined Outgrow Your Garage to learn about small businesses while helping them. I also love learning about education processes, which OYG has allowed me to do through their courses.
Fun Fact
- I run a teen writing and teen newsletter club at my local library!
