Bio
Faith McKenna (she/her)
Over the course of the past year, I had the pleasure of working with and under Jennifer Oh as part of the University of Denver regional team. Jennifer has a unique ability to strategically organize projects in a way that is detail-oriented and forward thinking. I always felt like my assignments were clear and expectations were both thoughtful and reasonable — while also challenging me and allowing space for creativity. I feel genuinely lucky to have Jennifer in my network as a manager and mentor, she is truly a gift to have on any team!

Highly strategic, organizational mastermind, and efficiency maximizer – Jennifer is all of this. I have had the privilege of working alongside Jennifer Oh for the past 18 months and in this short time she has continually amazed me in her ability to project manage complex and sensitive initiatives and programming. With all of its benefits, Higher Education can present interesting challenges, bureaucratic barriers and unnecessary inefficiencies. Jennifer has navigated these occasional obstacles with grace, patience and sensibility to produce highly impactful and strategic programming to meet the needs of our diverse communities. I can only hope some of Jennifer’s skills have rubbed off on me!
