I graduated from Towson University in 2016 with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. During my time at Towson, I worked for the Housing Residence Life Department and loved helping students transition to living away from home for the first time and putting on many events for Res Life. I found that I loved being behind the scene in the success of those around me. Working on the engineering team here at Cadmium, I am able to continue what I love by being behind the scenes for making all your events a success.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, sweet son, and our shy pup, Winston. We love going on walks and explore new towns, especially if there is a winery. We're wanna be sommeliers, so we'll take any chance we get to learn more about wine in the region. We also enjoy flipping houses and bringing life to forgotten places. If you don't catch us with power tools or wine in our hands, you'll most likely find us catching up on the newest movies and hit shows.

Jen joined the Cadmium team as an Event Producer in the Spring of 2010 following time in the Association space at the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Since joining Cadmium, she has moved into many different roles across the Operations side of the organization, including time spent as the Director of Online Events, Implementation Manager, and Operations Manager. In her latest role as Product Manager, she works closely with internal and external stakeholders to enhance the Elevate LMS product to make it more efficient, easy to use, and ensure it has the features our customers and prospects need.

Jen is a graduate of the University of Maryland with a degree in Marketing & Logistics and Supply Chain Management. In her spare time, she enjoys being the quintessential soccer mom to two crazy cuties, Charlotte and Cole. When she is not chasing them around from game to game, she loves running and exercising, competitive UNO games, and watching anything BravoTV.

I have been interested in technology and design since I was a child. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Maryland. Working for a motorized window covering manufacturer, I helped to implement a new software process and realized my love for software design and implementation.

Prior to joining Cadmium, I worked for EventRebels, starting part-time doing data entry, and quickly moving to a fulltime project manager and eventually Executive Vice President. Over those 15 years, I have learned every facet of the event technology world, and how crucial robust software solutions are for event planners. I enjoy the problem solving required to help planners execute a flawless event.

In my freetime, I enjoy traveling and camping with my husband and 2 boys, playing board games listening to live music and escaping rooms!
