Bio
Jacob Conley
Jenny was an excellent employee as she supported all areas of our business. As manager of technical publications for our custom-engineered products, Jenny worked well with the content owners and engineers to ensure technical accuracy and clarity to raise the bar on our publications. Her coordination and organization skills helped keep my distracted engineers on track to meet project-timing needs. She was extremely diligent to ensure editorial projects and tasks were progressing forward and communicated issues timely and effectively as needed. Jenny contributed regularly to special projects and events, the diversity council, women in engineering, as well as our fundraising and community programs.
