About Mandy
Mandy is originally from Michigan City and is a graduate of Michigan City High School. She received her degree in marketing from Ball State and worked retail at Lighthouse Mall after graduation. She became stay at home mom to her son Mark in 2010. Once Mark started school, Mandy wanted to make her long time dream of owning a skin care business a reality, and founded The SpOiled Housewife in 2017 with a $1,000 loan from her family savings. Seeing an opportunity to connect other small business owners she met while selling her skin care products at local markets, Mandy founded The Collective in 2019 as a way to connect & support other entrepreneurs paving their own path.
Mandy currently works full time for The Collective & lives in Northwest Indiana with her son, and Hank, their Wheaten Terrier.
At it’s core, The Collective is a community for entrepreneurs & change makers wanting to support not only each other, but the community in which we operate.

FAVORITE PASTIME OR HOBBY
I love checking out local restaurants and cooking from scratch when I have time. Food is definitely my favorite pastime with lip-syncing for my life as a close second!
PARTY TRICK, USELESS TALENT, OR FUN FACT
I can recite a solid amount of old-school gangsta rap, but half of the words are probably wrong.
WHY DO YOU ENJOY BEING A MEMBER OF THE COLLECTIVE?
My favorite thing about being a Member of TC is connecting with other Members. Everyone has a different set of experiences in their life, and it’s awesome when a group of people can bring those experiences together to make one another better while positively impacting the community!
