“This is an unusually self-directed person who learns new environments quickly, becomes useful immediately, and builds systems wherever she goes.” – C.G.
Jeannine Patané is a multi-disciplinary operations specialist and the founder of RV Compass, LLC. Based from a mobile 13’ travel trailer for over a decade, she is a highly resourceful operations and project professional who combines practical trade skills, creative problem-solving, documentation expertise, and entrepreneurial initiative to improve properties, organizations, events, and systems in a wide variety of environments.
Her early years of event coordination involved stage management and behind-the-scenes production for several shows in the entertainment industry. She then gravitated towards the graphic arts as production manager for an international magazine.
Prior to becoming a property owner, Jeannine took her bicycle and tent to the Australian Outback and rode anti-clockwise around the continent. The journey made such a personal impact, she returned years later as a government volunteer for six months in Western Australia.
Upon returning to the U.S., Jeannine founded a home improvement business, Alaska HandyWoman, after building her Interior Alaska cabin.

Within a few years she quit-claimed the cabin over to a friend and took her trade work on the road for multinational clientele. This included yacht work in the maritime industry and vessel deliveries. She views anything she manages as a production, and she applies stewardship in her work.
Since her Alaska departure—and a free-spirited decade of globetrotting with only a backpack in tow—Jeannine opted to upscale fulltime into a travel trailer immediately upon acquisition in 2014. Managing rallies was a natural fit to her organized and creative talents.
As an intrinsic nomad and artist, her worldly travels and experiences have taught her the skill of rapid operational assessment. She currently haunts the South East Region of America, but her location can shift spontaneously elsewhere.
Jeannine’s style of social networking simply involves a campfire, vocal conversations, a nearby post office, and tires ready to roll.
Shiny up, rubber down. Rock on.
