Lynette Claire

Lynette Claire is the first female entrepreneur for me to meet. She told us her favorite thing to do was start a company, but did not care for the work needed to maintain one. She went to University of California Davis and received her bachelors in English. From there she interned for Horticulture Magazine but instead of moving to Boston to continue working for them she decided to move to the Puget Sound. This is where she helped start Simply Seafood Magazine. She later accidentally ended up running a business by herself that involved association management and event planning. She also helped start the 6th ave farmers market in Tacoma. Believing that entrepreneurships can be used to build communities lead her to creating an entrepreneurship network that could do this. She is working on a project called Tacoma Entrepreneurs Network. TEN focuses on building entrepreneurial careers and is a supportive organization to Tacoma college students.
