Bio
Amy Lewin
Jenelle is an incredibly qualified, intelligent professional who provides invaluable leadership and communications skills. I first worked with Jenelle on the news desk at KPTV where we co-shared assignment editor duties. Jenelle was a huge team-asset offering reliable perspective and support in a newsroom environment where some of the most arduous and complicated situations imaginable arrive. Since working closely with her, Jenelle has expanded her skills by becoming Executive Director of a nonprofit where I’ve witnessed her ability to deftly manage tasks, people and events while maintaining focus on the needs of the moment. I am delighted to recommend Jenelle to anyone looking for a professional who thinks quickly and clearly on their feet and can get the job done in a fair and balanced manner.

Jenelle is the calm in the chaos! She is a confident and thorough employee. Jenelle is smart and pleasant. People want to work with Jenelle because she builds them up and takes time to teach them new things. As a hiring manager, I wish I could clone her. They don't get any better.
