Jina Miniard
Director of Operations/ Associate Publisher

On the Job: I’ve worked with the exploreMedia team for 10+ years and have always admired their passion and dedication for this community. Now that I’m on the team, I’m most excited about connecting with the community to help tell their story. I love being the connector for ideas, information and resources.

All About Me: I graduated from Auburn University at Montgomery with a dual degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I had big plans to teach, eventually get my doctorate and become a professor, but I ended up finding a job in marketing right after college and never looked back.

I’ve been married for eight years to a saint, Hal Miniard, who loves ALL of me – the good, the bad and the ugly. We have an energetic and outgoing son, Holt, who keeps us busy and on our toes every waking second.

Favorite Place: We love the beach!

Favorite Quote: “You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge. Apologize for mistakes. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone-profusely. But don’t apologize for being who you are.”- Danielle LaPorte

Honk If You Love: Tacos- all of the tacos!
