About Jennifer
Launched in the world:
Born in Boston, MA.
Raised in Wayland, MA and Eglington, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Launched in the workforce:
An overnight summer camp counselor (aka canoeing instructor!), a Development (aka fundraising) Intern in West Africa, and later a Development Associate at a non-profit provider of transitional housing to families that are homeless in NYC.
Failure to launch:
After my experience in Senegal, I was committed to working for an international human rights NGO abroad. I applied to the Luce Scholars Program, a one-year fellowship to live and work in a South/Southeast Asian country. I was elated to make the final round and devastated to not be accepted.
If I could give my younger self advice, I would have told her to believe in herself!
More successful launches:
Grads of Life, the first-ever national public service announcement that focused on driving employer demand for diverse and inclusive talent strategies.
Huge fan of these lovely ladies:
My mom, Diana Warren
My high school guidance counselor, Norma Greenberg
My soul sister and fierce small business-owner, Leigh Landreth
My Canadian mum and nurse extraordinaire, Deb Roberts
Madeleine Albright, Michelle Obama, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samantha Power
And so many more...
Future launches:
