For some MMers, ag roots run deep. That’s certainly the case for Jen, who grew up immersed in the swine business on her family’s farm in Iowa. On that same farm today, she and her husband raise Angus cattle. Jen arrived at MM the week after she graduated from Iowa State and has been lending her real-life, on-the-farm knowledge to the agency ever since. She leads teams creating integrated communications for our clients – working with client marketing teams to identify opportunities that will make the competition squirm. She has the ability to articulate and make meaningful such heady topics as cell-mediated immunity and parasitology. Most importantly, she has also honed a keen sense for when a chocolate or ice cream break is needed.

WHAT MOVES ME?

Finding and leveraging opportunities for clients and leading teams to get the work done within or under budget. Happy clients. Keeping abreast of all the changes in ag and communications, and being on the forefront of what is to come.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

• If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would start a Blue Bell ice cream shop. And, you know, keep working here.
• This might surprise you about me: I can stand on my head.
• If I didn’t already work at the best company ever, I would probably be a teacher.
• When I’m not working I enjoy taking my daughters to horse shows (although it feels like work).
