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.
