About Jennifer
As far back as Jennifer can remember, she’s wanted to know how and why people organize themselves, in groups and even individually, and how they think about their lives. Growing up in her native Missouri, Jennifer was first fascinated by the people she found in books, especially the creation stories of native peoples. She pursued her need to uncover the stories of the origins of culture, earning a bachelor’s degree in anthropology at Grinnell College. In the process, she found that the stories people tell about their own lives are the most fascinating of all, because they are not predictable. For her master’s degree in public administration, Jennifer focused on how groups of people can help each other, and then spent ten years working for nonprofit and government organizations, including as a project manager and financial analyst with the U.S. Treasury Department. It was there that she first wrote about business systems and the people who make them run. Before long, Jennifer began drawing out stories from other people she met, writing about businesses, in ways that honored and energized them, as a reporter for a city weekly. As the editor of a community newspaper, Jennifer won awards for niche publication and for her article on the cultural impact of the television show, “Bewitched.” Now, with a business of her own, Jennifer helps people identify and share their stories. She brings her energy and discipline to the writing projects that will help you achieve your goals. Featuring:
