An award-winning communicator and recognized leader in Central Indiana’s public relations community, Jen has helped clients including small non-profits, major corporations and government entities tell their stories and get the results they need. Whether she's working with her many long-time clients or on a short-term project, she builds everything on the same fundamental question: “What are you trying to make happen?”
Jen started JTPR in 2006, having caught the entrepreneurial bug after working for one of the state’s largest PR firms, which she helped grow from two employees to 27 over 11 years. She ventured out on her own in order to have greater control over the type of work she engages in. While she has provided a variety of communications services, her strengths include communications strategy and planning, community relations, writing and media relations. She is accredited in public relations (APR) from the Public Relations Society of America and a graduate of the Stanley K. Lacy Leadership Series (SKL Class XIX).
After graduating from IU Bloomington with journalism and German degrees, she moved to Indianapolis and worked for an organization that promoted the city to national media. She remains a civic cheerleader who is often called on to participate on boards, speak, provide counsel and mentor young professionals.
A serial volunteer Jen currently serves as president of the Indianapolis Public Relations Society and marketing committee chair of the Indianapolis Women's Chorus.
