“Inkwell showcases the best of [Jenn's] numerous skills. She is a consummate communicator and diplomatic team member, always prepared to listen carefully and contribute meaningfully. She is always alert to new trends in the non-profit world, carefully assessing the needs of an organization and responding accordingly. She takes time to explain complex concepts to stakeholders and isn't afraid to challenge the status quo. Its very clear to me that Jenn will be a leader in her field for years to come.”
