Geneva Eilertson

Geneva Eilertson is the local owner and publisher of BeLocal St. Croix Valley. She spent her first eighteen years of life growing up in Woodbury and has had great fun delving more deeply into exploring the St. Croix Valley with family and friends in her recent years. Summers were spent boating on the St. Croix River and picnicking in the park in downtown Hudson where priceless and special memories were made. After obtaining a Marketing Degree from University of Minnesota, she moved back to this community as it has a special place in her heart.

What motivates Geneva is strengthening local businesses! She finds great fulfillment in connecting local business owners and promoting them through the local BeLocal magazine and social media. Geneva is a dog mom to Enzo and a foster mom to dogs through Coco's Heart Dog Rescue. She loves staying active through weight lifting and hiking in state parks.
