About
Hello, I'm Jen.
I'm a growth-seeker, college professor, ICF certified coach, and edupreneur. I spend my days with passionate colleagues and college students at Anne Arundel Community College outside of Annapolis, MD. Though I graduated from Michigan State University, University of Colorado and The Johns Hopkins University, I have something to share and to confess.
Coaching lights me up.
I would trade in all of my college degrees just to have my coaching skills; that's how impactful coaching is. Since coaching can be used with every human on the planet, it's the must-have set of skills for this century. As part of my work at the college, I train others to be coaches through my college's ICF accredited, coach training program that I co-wrote and co-lead. I pinch myself every time I get to train a new tribe of coaches.
My core values guide me.
Before taking a college position, I taught K-12 students in suburban Denver, on the Navajo Nation, in Quito, Ecuador, in inner-city Baltimore and on ropes courses in North Carolina and Arizona. When not writing my own blog or living my core values deeply, I enjoy being with my family, spending time outdoors, and dividing my time between Maryland, North Carolina, and Colorado; I resonate with big mountains.
