Sarah Rosales-Hunt

Jenna is a pro at creating compelling content, and building the processes that help scale a content program. At Humu she wasted no time putting in place and automating workflows to keep up with the huge amount of content that was being created, and fleshed out the team of content creators to help meet the demand. She is also a thoughtful, considerate cross-functional partner who has helped me do my job better by giving me timely, useful information and keeping me in the loop on her team's work.

Jenna is a great collaborative partner. I worked with her on several projects as part of the discovery process for the Office of Strategic Management at BOLD. She is a smart, thoughtful and extremely strong communicator that would make a tremendous asset to any demanding agile environment.
