Hello, I'm Jen and I have the wonderful opportunity of volunteering alongside the Creative Core mission with TEDx Atlanta through Content Research through Interviews from past and present TED Presenters! I've been a Strategic and Technical Writer for about 10+ years and was able to define more of my craft in the Arts at Hampton University in Hampton, VA. I'm very excited to be working with a strong team that's passionate about the overall mission in people and purpose at TEDx.

I am passionate about research through uniting people and listening to their stories first-hand. Giving back to the community through outreach and volunteering has always been an outlet and inlet for me.

The multiple categories of love: experienced and imagined.

Brand Ambassador, Content Creating, Content Writing, Emotional Intelligence, Liasionship, Marketing x Branding, Newsletter, PowerPoint, Research, Shareholder Relationships, Team Building, Technical Analysis, User Interviews

My freshman year of high school was the first time I had ever watched a TED Talk. These types of public forums were gaining traction in the academic world, and one day my Language Arts and Humane Letters class was challenged to create a talk that mirrored the structure of Ted Talks; Chris Anderson's, 'What Makes a Great Talk, Great'. I wasn't a fan of the assignment initially, but the more background research I did, I began to grow a passion for public speaking and research. The diligent preparation speakers go through is encouraging as well as brilliant. After presenting my speech, I was asked to be in the Newsletter/Yearbook Club as well as the liaison between staff, students, partners, and donors. It seemed like a dream conferred then, and a dream come true now!

People don't know that I'm good at asking challenging questions that promote vulnerability, comfort, assurance, and pride.
