Bio
Philip Leander
I had the privilege of working with Jennifer on a variety of projects in multiple areas including Digital Marketing, Social Marketing, and Project Management. Jennifer's work ethic and determination we're immediately apparent as she actively pushed herself to take on new challenges, continuously learn new work-streams across the project, and actively engaged with a variety of stakeholders across her projects. She consistently met with her key stakeholders to ensure projects we're progressing on schedule, highlighting risks where necessary to mitigate them, and overall establishing a strong personal and professional rapport with her stakeholders leading to strong and trusting relationships. Jennifer is a dedicated and hard worker and will eagerly take on new tasks and projects with a consistently positive attitude. She is a fantastic team player and it was a pleasure to have her on the team and I would be happy to work with her again.

I have had the privilege to oversee Jennifer in her role at Logic20/20 staffed on the Microsoft Field Marketing & Operations team. First and foremost, Jennifer is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is highly detail oriented and organized in her approach and she quickly developed a close and trusting relationship with her client who came to rely on Jennifer in many ways as en extension of them self. Jennifer is skilled at striking the right balance between high level overview and tactical detail in her status and escalations which allowed me to effectively clear blockers or provide any necessary support. She takes her work very personally and has exceptionally high standards for everything she does. She is universally loved by our team and always brings a positive and energetic attitude to team meetings. She is quick to celebrate the success of her clients and teammates and provides detailed, constructive feedback when necessary. I can't recommend Jennifer highly enough!
