“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jennifer at Overland Agency for four years.
As an Account Director, Jennifer has been able to satisfy every need for both small and large clients, excelling under challenging circumstances. Jennifer balances strong relationship building with exceptional organizational and leadership skills in order to deliver client satisfaction. Together we have worked on many projects at many levels of complexity. Jennifer has consistently been a centering force in a hectic business.
Being an Account Director is an extremely challenging job, consisting at times of strategy, project and people management. Fortunately she juggled all the responsibilities with efficiency, enthusiasm and in a collaborative manner that helped her teams complete the projects on schedule. Her positive, can-do attitude enables her teams to deliver quality work on time and within budget, while still maintaining some level composure and humor.
In addition to her client services expertise, Jennifer’s greatest strength is her ability to connect to people at all levels to inspire positive interaction. She is the glue that binds the team together. Jennifer has a great personality and is a pleasure to work with–I highly recommend Jennifer and would welcome any opportunity to work with her again in the future.”
Julie Byun, Vice President of Operations

“Having worked alongside Jennifer for several years, I’ve seen her address quite a spectrum of challenges incumbent to any client-facing diplomat. From this vantage point, I can say that I truly admire her grace under pressure, her honesty and authentic (not unctuous) diplomacy, and her awareness, both of the projects she is driving, and of the greater matrix in which those projects reside.
Jennifer is freakishly organized, incredibly efficient, ruthlessly rational, solutions-oriented, and is one of those incredibly rare people who is courageous enough to tackle difficult conversations with delicacy, total sincerity, and tact. Probably due to her MBA and natural knack for finance, she’s got a sixth sense for the budget of any given project, and where it’s about to be blown. This vigilance means that she’s one of the few people who can tactfully and breezily rein in those types of organic creative discussions (in the presence of clients) which can lead to hemorrhagic budgetary catastrophes.
She’s good at adapting to projects which require macro, and micro, management, and won’t do either inappropriately. She’s really quite intuitive this way. In short, if she is wholly accountable for a project, you can be certain it is in good hands. As if this weren’t enough, she’s just a really good person–the type to just randomly bring you a latte here or there, or to ask if anyone needs anything when she’s stepping out. This certainly isn’t a quality a person includes in their resume, but who doesn’t like working with just flat-out nice people?
I should also mention that Jennifer is an exceptionally loyal person. Because we can all get bruised about here and there in various workplaces, and because at the end of it, if we’re not working for ourselves, we know we’re all expendable if or when the dollars dive downward, it’s easy to develop a cavalier crust, and to act opportunistically. The people who don’t go cynical under these circumstances stand out, and in this way (along with so many others), Jennifer is rather extraordinary. She also will practically kill herself with overwork because her ethics are hard-freaking-core. So…you know. Please don’t ask her to.
I do not think anyone, in any company culture, would ever misstep in adding Jennifer to their team. She’ll quickly become one of your most significant assets.”

I’ve seen Jennifer deal with incredibly demanding situations gracefully, handle client expectations while at the same time advocating for the best solutions and manage a workload that would kill a lesser person. Besides that she’s someone who is really enjoyable to work with, and is able to contribute to any conversation. Without any reservation, I would highly recommend her for any position.”
