Bio
David Wong
I worked closely with Jenn for several years as a colleague and found her to be bright, energetic, and dedicated to Shopko. She was a one-person dynamo who managed both the public image of the Company as well as community and media relations. At the same time, she also oversaw our consumer/customer service hotline. In all of these duties, Jenn was able to assist senior management in developing the right messages for each of the constituencies that we targeted. Whether it was leading the scholarship selection process, developing publicity for special events, or preparing the messaging for new stores in new cities, Jenn tackled each assignment and project with enthusiasm, insight, and intelligence. Jenn's hard work and endurance was often tested, especially during our critical Xmas holiday season, where she took responsibility for ensuring that special events and promotions were adequately covered by the media. Given the scope of the multiple states and communities of our stores, this was no small accomplishment. I would strongly recommend her for any opportunity she wishes to pursue. Dave Wong

Jenn Steffen is a highly skilled professional who one can count on to get the work done with stellar detail and proficiency even with a tight deadline looming, and to provide sound direction to others who need to do the same. I have witnessed Jenn use her background in technical writing and instructional design, along her highly developed interpersonal communication skills, to obtain pertinent information from even the most challenging Subject Matter Experts. This background also allows Jenn to develop relevant work and project objectives that drive desired business results. I have observed Jenn handle critical conversations with people from all levels of an organization with a pleasant, yet professional manner. I have worked in the management arena for close to 20 years, and for my book, Jenn Steffen is the kind of person that any manager or executive would be proud to have on their team.
