"Jen's workshops are just like her: fun, interesting, inspirational and so helpful! Jen's combined experience in the experiential education field and in education makes her presentations relevant and immediately applicable in our classrooms and groups. We bring her to our district whenever we can."
Mary Beer
Milwaukee Public Schools
"One of the best professional learning experiences I have attended. I loved the interactive and participatory nature, learning from one another, and the fluidity of the day. I appreciated how welcoming Jen was and how she responded to the needs of the group."
Counselor
Chicago Public Schools
"Jen is a thoughtful, generous person who likes to have fun while learning. One of the things I enjoy most about Jen is the pace she has with learners. She allows time for processing and application. She does not rush her learners and is willing to slow down when needed. It always feels tailored to what I need and want."
Marci Moloney
Livingston Educational Service Agency, Michigan
"I've already started incorporating some of her strategies into my classroom lessons. I can especially see these techniques being beneficial when starting a new program — such as beginning of year building classroom cohesion, promoting teamwork, or supporting problem-solving skills."
Jennifer Tanksley, LCSW
Eastside Elementary School Anderson, Indiana
"Jen’s work is compelling, creative, and creditable. She's lovely, warm, and someone you want to hang with and learn from. She created enjoyable connections during our professional learning sessions, but most importantly the strategies she shared got my students laughing, smiling, and engaging."

"Jen is never on a stage. She learns everyone's name. She gathers information before she trains. She's invested. The value of Jen's service is the relationship she builds with each participant, and the support and follow-through she provides as a matter of course."
Stacia Bowley
Austin Independent School District and Youth Launch Austin, Texas
