HI THERE, I'M JEN.
Mother, Wife, Cat/Dog/Hamster Mom.
Above all, I'm a proud mom to three incredible humans and a life partner of over two decades. But
I've never been one to follow the script—whether it's in life, work, or even love. Case in point: after 20 years together, we finally had our wedding, our kids were the wedding party.
​
Taking the path less traveled hasn't always been a straight one, but I don't regret a single turn.


(Oh, and all those pets? It's because I've raised humans who write great persuasive essays.)

Experience That Shapes My Approach.
My path into leadership work wasn’t linear. I started my first business at 19, long before I had language for leadership theory or organizational psychology. What I gained instead was something just as valuable: firsthand experience navigating pressure, uncertainty, and the real weight of responsibility that leaders carry.
​
Over the years, my work has spanned entrepreneurship, leadership development, and executive coaching. That nontraditional path allows me to see leadership differently. I understand the complexity founders and leaders face because I’ve lived it — making difficult decisions, managing people and expectations, and figuring things out in real time.
Today, that perspective shapes how I work with organizations. I don’t approach leadership as an abstract concept. I help leaders address what’s actually happening inside their teams and cultures, translating insight into practical shifts that improve how people work, communicate, and lead together.
WRITER
Thinking Out Loud.
I write about leadership the way it actually shows up in real life — not just in organizations, but in families, communities, and the systems we’re part of every day.
​
My perspective is shaped by many roles: leader, parent, entrepreneur, and engaged citizen. The patterns I see in organizations often echo what’s happening everywhere else — in how we handle power, responsibility, accountability, and conflict.
​
My writing is where I explore those patterns and say the quiet parts out loud. Sometimes it’s about leadership. Sometimes it’s about culture. Often it’s about the human dynamics underneath both.

STORYTELLER
Storyteller With A Purpose.
Thought I didn't realize it at the time, I planted my first flag on building resilience long before I had kids of my own. It's since become my mission in life.


This work has found its way into numerous schools as part of social- emotional learning initiatives. My latest book sequel, 'It's Ok for Boys to Cry', is in the works.
