Work with Jennifer
To leave your mark, you've got to pick up your feet and get moving.
Successful brands are symbolic, not stagnant. Brands represent how your audiences perceive and value your organization. Those perceptions are fluid and influence your audiences' behavior. Constantly communicating your organization's relevance through branding is critical to business.
About Me
I’m a marketing professional with more than 15 years of experience and proven success in helping organizations grow their businesses. Through the use of thoughtful, strategic communications, I substantially enhance brand presence and the bottom line.
I'm also a lifelong learner and connector, who loves to contribute independently as well as on a team. When it comes to leading, I look to make sure everyone is heard and that they have the tools, training, and resources to excel.
In January 2024, I began earning my Professional Master in Business Administration degree from the UMKC Bloch School, and I'm eager to absorb every moment of the 3-year program.

Outside the Office
Service, leadership, and lifelong learning have shaped who I am just as much as my career. I'm passionate about creating opportunities for others, challenging myself to grow, and engaging with communities.
Community & Leadership
Volunteering is one of the most rewarding parts of my personal and professional journey. Since joining the American Business Women's Association (ABWA) in 2007, I've embraced opportunities to lead, learn, and support women in their professional and personal growth.
As a past and current President of the ABWA KC Express Network, I've had the privilege of helping women from diverse backgrounds build confidence, develop skills, and pursue their goals. Through the years, ABWA has strengthened my leadership abilities, expanded my perspective, and reinforced my belief in the power of community and mentorship.
I'm also grateful to have received the 2025 and 2026 ABWA District III Outright Grant and the 2025 Beatrice E. Burton SBMEF Memorial Scholarship. These opportunities enriched my graduate studies experience and helped make it possible to study abroad in China during spring break in 2025. I am honored to be a LEAD Scholar, Bloch Graduate Program Ambassador, and member of the Dean's Student Advisory Board.
As a Lifetime Girl Scout member, I remain committed to supporting youth development, education, literacy, and health initiatives. Since 2017, I've served as a troop co-leader and Cookie Manager, helping girls build courage, confidence, and character. One of the highlights of that journey was watching two of our graduating scouts earn their Gold Awards.
Lifelong Learning
Growth happens when we're willing. Whether through graduate studies, international travel, leadership development, or language and creative arts, I actively seek opportunities to broaden my perspective.
One passion that continues to challenge and inspire me is the French language and culture. Studying a foreign language has strengthened my communication skills and taught me to think more creatively and adapt to different perspectives. I maintain a CEFR B2+ level of French proficiency and enjoy any opportunity to practice and learn more.
Embracing Challenges
In 2020, our daughter participated in her first Girls on the Run Kansas City program. That spring, we completed our first 5K together, and we haven't stopped moving since. We've participated in numerous Girls on the Run events, and I've completed more than 40 fun runs.
Running has emphasized many of the same lessons that leadership has: consistency matters and progress is built one step at a time.
Creating & Building
I rarely sit still for long. Whether I'm refinishing furniture, painting a room, building a wheelchair ramp, knitting, or sewing, I enjoy transforming an idea into something tangible. This mindset that carries over into every part of my life, from community leadership to professional projects and personal hobbies.
