Meet Jen

I am a lifelong Bostonian and proponent of using technology to make life easier. I have worked with companies ranging in size from 1 to 200k employees. I have a bachelors from Boston College in Marketing and Information Systems and an MBA focusing on technology and innovation. When people engage with me, they are guaranteed to get a bit of dry humor and sarcasm mixed with a deep experience solving problems.

  • I like to work on mission-driven projects

  • During my commute time to Boston, I built SouthShoreTrails.com in 2016 to provide a unified resource for finding trails that meet individuals accessibility needs.

  • Pivot tables bring me joy

  • I guarantee clients will save either time or money when they work with me
