Laura Ruel, assistant professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication, who I worked with while producing Powering a Nation:

“Jenn was a superstar. Her ability to juggle multiple tasks, work with coaches from a variety of backgrounds and be a leader in the area of visual design was impressive not only to me, but to the other faculty advisers and professional coaches involved in this project. She was a valuable asset to our team and a large reason for the project’s success. Jenn’s work on the News 21 project bodes well for her future as a communicator. I anticipate that she will become one of the most valued members of any team she works on.” Read Laura’s Letter

Jacqueline Banaszynski, Professor at The Missouri School of Journalism and Pulitzer Prize Winner, whose intermediate writing course I took as an undergraduate journalism student:

“Jenn’s got the intelligence, initiative, creativity and right kind of quirkiness to bring a special touch to your pages. She’s got the work ethic to pitch in at whatever needs to be done. And she’s got a quiet, supportive and curious personality that makes her fun to be around.”

Mary Kay Blakely, Associate Professor at The Missouri School of Journalism, whose advanced writing course I took as an undergraduate journalism student:

“Jenn is an excellent writer— creative, original, disciplined, skillful— and a thoughtful analyst as well. She’s also exactly the kind of student every professor would be happiest to find on a class roster.”
