I'm Jenn, an independent journalist. I started this journey in 2024 with no previous journalism experience, only a writing background and enthusiasm for weather.
Archery has captured my heart for as long as I can remember, but there's something equally thrilling about connecting with others. I genuinely enjoy diving into their stories and experiences, and there's a unique excitement in attending events where those moments come to life.
This blend of my passion for archery and my love for people genuinely fuels my spirit!
In 2001, I interned at NBC6 during my college years. After college, I decided to pursue my master's degree in business.
I have worked in various fields, but I fell passionately in love when I owned my archery shop, where I taught the Olympic sport of archery.
I also blog, vlog, and post on social media about coaching students for five years and competing as an athlete for ten years. After closing the shop, I transitioned into the health insurance industry.
I handled all their marketing and social media efforts. I eventually transitioned to writing online content and ghostwriting for the agents.
I had the opportunity to work for News4Jax, and although my time there was brief, it helped me realize my true passion. I love being with people, hearing their voices and concerns, and, most importantly, sharing positivity.
I'm a passionate advocate for First Responders and love sharing their incredible stories. Their bravery and dedication deserve to be celebrated!
Now, I share my stories with the Lake Area Monitor, Clay Today, and Southern Observers. I feel blessed to embark on this new quest!
