Testimonials

Jennie facilitated a year long journey about our values and how they can drive and shape the design of an educational experience. This discussion of values was applied practically to curriculum development by collaborating with our peers, reflecting on our practices, and living our values through our learning. The benefit of this exercise was observable in student learning and facilitator teaching: by leaning into our values, we are able to connect authentically.

- Associate Director of Public Engagement, Museum of Us

Jennie is one of the best leaders I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with over the course of my career developing and overseeing informal education programming in zoos and aquariums. She leads with vision but also understands and cares about individuals and details. Jennie is a particularly skilled and thoughtful collaborator through the curriculum development and launch process. Whenever I hit a roadblock, she knew exactly which questions to ask and brought fresh insight and perspective. I walked away from each meeting feeling truly heard, refreshed, and inspired. Once our programming launched, she was always available to evaluate and support continuous growth and improvement. Just as important, she was always in my corner celebrating our successes as well! If you are looking for a thought partner who will inspire and support you to take your curriculum or program to the next level, Jennie is the perfect choice!

- Former Education Experience Manager, San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Alliance

I had the privilege of working alongside Jennie, as she has been a cornerstone of support and innovation in my professional growth, leaving an enduring positive impact on my teaching and development practices. Jennie has a talent for making learning engaging and meaningful. Her feedback on curriculum consistently elevated lessons, transforming them into relevant, hands-on experiences that connected with students. She also fostered collaboration and growth among educators through the monthly professional development meetings she led, which deepened our curriculum knowledge and strengthened our relationships as a team. Her commitment to supporting others went above and beyond. Whether leading lessons, supervising them, providing invaluable feedback, or addressing student behavior, Jennie was always there to lend her expertise. One of her most notable contributions came during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic. When educational institutions faced the monumental task of switching to online learning, Jennie stepped up as a guiding force. She spearheaded the transition for our museum institutions, providing extensive resources and practical training that made what initially seemed impossible completely achievable. Thanks to her leadership and unwavering support, our transition was seamless, and we continued to thrive in a virtual learning environment.
