Read About Jenn's 15 Years of Experience ⟶

Along with spending the initial years of my career in operations management, my resume includes 15 years in corporate HR at fortune 200 organizations across multiple industries including biotechnology, food and beverage, technology distribution and sales.

Specialties include
 career changes, heart-based career planning, professional & leadership branding, talent acquisition, university relations, and leadership development. Recognized for high learning agility, trustworthy leadership, and having an authentic ability to inspire others.

"You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water, anything you want.” David Gilmour. This is the quote I selected to leave for my classmates in high school. It’s the quote printed under my senior year picture in our final yearbook. This quote still resonates… so much so that it’s part of the core foundation in starting a career coaching and consulting business. 

My first job post-graduation was working the overnight shift as a front line supervisor in a potato chip factory. Making potato chips in the middle of the night might not sound like a “dream job” right out of college, although, I learned more about running a business, teamwork and leading people during that time versus any other job.
From supervising teams in a potato chip factory to supporting a dynamic sales team as a human resource business partner to leading a team of college recruiters, I have successfully made multiple career jumps, U-turns, steps up, and down that left me with life-long lessons, experiences and successes.

To others, this journey might look like messy intertwined roots of a tree in need of sunlight and a bucket of miracle grow although in actuality, every tangled up root is now a strong branch equipping me to properly serve you in sharing advice, brainstorming ideas, creating plans and inspiring your success.

I get what companies are looking for when hiring top talent. It’s what I do. I have recruited, coached and hired hundreds of early and mid-career professionals into positions covering human resources, finance, engineering, tech, sales, and operations. 

I am mostly known for being 110% career driven with a bias for taking action - I have been told this passion for career and business is called a “voluntary obsession” and I’m OK with that…

Constantly reading the latest trends in business and recruitment, learning new ways businesses are hiring top talent is part of my DNA, and I am diligent about integrating this into my coaching and consulting practice, serving clients with the most up-to-date guidance.

... which is really the 3rd floor of my urban colonial home.
Surrounded by built-in book shelves, brilliant natural light, a vintage drawing table as my desk, a special window seat designed by my dad, a flower wall of beauty and of course my dog, Tula, at my side. My treehouse is charming, comfortable and brings so much inspiration.

Most days you can find me in my custom designed treehouse...

Fun Facts about Jenn 

When you nourish your imagination, your spirit, and your body, you give yourself what you need to remain healthy. From cooking simple, fresh meals to waking up early in order to soak in the magical sunrise, I do everything I can to take full advantage of each day. As an early bird, my morning routine is a beautifully quiet time to prepare and make each day count.

"nourish to flourish" is a mantra I live by.

Typically we are on a simple day trip to the lake or the woods or exploring one of the many parks in Western NY. There’s nothing better than adventuring with the radio up, convertible top down, coffee in hand and wind in our hair exploring and enjoying the fresh air.

When not working, I am likely road tripping with my pack (husband + pup)! 

The fear of running out of reading material. I cannot stop buying, borrowing and reading books. Not the audio version or the electronic version… actual, physical, bound books. As a life long learner, I enjoy everything from the latest business and career fads to fiction best sellers to cookbooks. Needless to say, I spend a lot of time (and money) at Barnes and Noble!

I am a self-proclaimed abibliophobiac.

Although introverted, I have been told I have a knack for public speaking and leading people... as long as I make the time to recharge my battery. So urban hermit, yes, although this hermit recognizes her boundaries and is happy to emerge from the shell to support and inspire greatness among clients.

My husband calls me an urban hermit 
I am a true introvert.
