With a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication focusing on Public Relations and Marketing, I have built a robust foundation that seamlessly blends strategic thinking with creative execution. My career has been a dynamic journey across marketing, event production, and business development, where I’ve had the privilege of leading impactful campaigns and building brands from the ground up. As the Head of Marketing at Dodson Companies, I spearheaded the marketing strategy for ten diverse businesses, successfully launching four food and beverage brands while creating a compelling new tourism brand. My role demanded leadership, strategic insight, and a deep understanding of market trends and consumer behavior. Before this, as an Experiential Marketing Producer & Account Lead with Butter, Inc., I orchestrated immersive marketing experiences that left lasting impressions. From executing high-profile events for Shake Shack and Maker's Mark to producing influencer-driven activations, I thrive in environments where creativity and precision are paramount. My time as a Lead Events Planner at Roberts & Co. Events and as a Development Officer at the University of Richmond honed my skills in relationship building, project management, and storytelling. Whether engaging stakeholders or designing unforgettable experiences, I am driven by a passion for connecting with people and delivering excellence. At the core of my work is a commitment to creating value through innovative marketing strategies, immersive brand experiences, or fostering strong relationships. I bring a unique blend of creativity, strategy, and empathy to every project, always aiming to make a meaningful impact.

Hi, I’m Jennie — a calm-in-the-chaos kind of professional with 15+ years of experience supporting executives, managing HR and contracting processes, writing policies, and keeping the backend of complex organizations running smoothly. I specialize in administrative operations, workforce tracking, budget support, contract deliverables, and all the unglamorous-but-essential work that keeps teams moving. I’ve worked in high-pressure, government environments where attention to detail, clear documentation, and follow-through really matter. If you need someone to create structure, streamline your systems, or take a project across the finish line — I’m your person. I’m dependable, organized (even if my house isn’t), and deeply invested in helping people feel less overwhelmed. I take pride in being someone you don’t have to double-check. Let’s make your to-do list lighter. I’d love to help.
