JENNIFER JEFFREY HAS BEEN CRAZY ABOUT WORDS
ever since she read her first complete sentence at the tender age of four. Afterwards, nothing in print escaped her notice, from the backs of cereal boxes to the soft cotton tags sewn into the backs of t-shirts. She penned her first screenplay during a hot, sticky summer between the second and third grades, but alas, despite the fact that the plot centered around a pair of irresistible twins, the screenplay was not optioned by a major movie studio, and therefore is not available on DVD.

When she read somewhere that writers must lead interesting lives so that they will have interesting things to write about, Jennifer decided to abandon her nascent career as a screenwriter and pursue adventure instead.

She deliberated between becoming the next Jacques Cousteau and ripping up the racetrack as a tenacious female jockey, but she did not possess an ocean worthy vessel and she was fast becoming too tall to ride an Arabian stallion to victory, and so she settled instead upon discovering the magic and mystery in seemingly ordinary things. She earned her bachelors’ degree in Biology and Physical Sciences at a liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon, and spent a couple of years thereafter hunched over a laboratory bench in a stiff white coat, attempting to decode the secret messages of nucleotide pairs.

And then one day, like a distant siren song, she began to hear the merry sounds of people making truckloads of money on a concept called the Internet. Without a second thought, Jennifer traded the lab coat for a pair of sunglasses and moved to California to throw herself into the fray and make millions. Over the next two years, she co-founded a software company and helped raise millions to fund the running of it, but the Internet frenzy subsided before a profit could be made, and she found herself without a company or the small comfort of two thin dimes to rub together.

She was, however, infinitely richer in the adventure category. It was clearly time to start writing. And so she did. For the past six years, Jennifer has worked with a wide variety of clients on their messaging needs. She has written books, articles, press releases, proposals, brochures and just about everything in between. In between bouts with words, she throws marvelous dinner parties and dreams of faraway places. She prefers salty to sweet, is not overly fond of small children, and writes copy that keeps people awake.
