Jennifer has a methodical and thorough approach to every project she works on. Her willingness to understand the full scope and then approach all the details is unsurpassed. I hired her as a technical writer in an industry she knew nothing about and four years later she was running the department. We are also co-founders on a nonprofit where she takes the leadership role and ensures that we are on message.

President

Jul 2015 - Present
FUN 4 GOOD is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that produces fun events for good causes. Our driving principles include: 100% of participants fees go to the cause. Our sponsors’ donations cover the cost of our operations. Fun and participation must be part of every event. Our current focus is on curing, treating, and investing in community programs for breast cancer. We anticipate adding new causes in the future. Our first event was in 2010, called Biking4Boobs. The fun and light-hearted attitude was infectious. Everyone had a great time and appreciated that their money went to a good cause. The event evolved into The Boob Ride and several years later we have three starts in two states with almost 300 participants. Over the years we have operated by directing funds into various charities and operating under the umbrella of another non-profit corporation. In 2015, we officially incorporated and obtained our 501(c)(3) status. Show less
