Description
In the latest episode of our GenX Speaks series, we are thrilled to welcome Jenn. We hear about Jenn’s idyllic childhood in her beloved hometown of Buffalo, New York. After graduation, Jenn pursued not one, not two, but 3 degrees! Her love of cheerleading, which began during middle school, led to her becoming a cheer coach and eventually a Buffalo Jill captain. Jenn entertains us with stories of participating on the pageant circuit, including a go at Miss New York. Modeling eventually led to a deal with Mattel to portray Barbie, which Jenn cleverly parlayed into her own business. Pharmaceutical sales was Jenn’s next adventure, followed by a sudden move to south Florida where she dabbled as a weather newscaster and pop-up internet model before settling back into pharmaceutical sales. Of all the roles and adventures Jenn has experienced, becoming a mother to her two sons was hands down her role of a lifetime. Jenn offers timely advice for women on divorce and starting over, in addition to how she has been in a thriving long-distance relationship for the past two years. Yet the most impressive adventure Jenn has embarked on has been her latest entrepreneurial project, Pink Space Productions, where she is a DJ and Event Planner serving the South Florida, Charlotte and Buffalo metro markets. Jenn brings an authentic and genuine experience to every event where she makes each one uniquely special. We are excited to see where Pink Space Productions takes off to next!
