To describe Jennifer as a Senior Analyst and Project Manager doesn’t do her justice. Sure, she is the person who lives inside our project management software and makes sure we’re all doing what we should, but she’s also a qualitative interviewer, an analyst, a data visualizer, a graphic designer…You get the picture, she is an extremely flexible member of the team who is ready to dominate the next challenge at a drop of the proverbial hat.
Jennifer joined the team in 2013 after deciding to pursue a career in marketing. She has a natural aptitude for research, which is why we hired her seven years ago. Not only is she extremely inquisitive, but the desire to find the “why” behind motivations and behaviors also burns in her brightly. Additionally, she is serving her 7th year on the local Oklahoma City Chapter board of the American Marketing Association as the Immediate Past President. In 2019 Jennifer received Oklahoma’s NextGen Under 30 Award for her dedication and service to her community, career, and industry.
Jennifer holds a BBA in Marketing & Management from Oklahoma State University. She won’t hesitate to wear her bright OSU orange on any given day. Outside of Evolve, Jenn enjoys spending time with her husband and their two blue heelers, attending her weekly cycle classes, going to the lake (really, anything water-related), “DIYing”, volunteering, planning events, country two-steppin’, and a patio on a nice day. Fall is her new favorite season because she gets to celebrate her anniversary and watch football.
