“I’ve experienced many coaches before — acting, on-camera, commercial, volleyball, speech — but Jen is unlike any other coach. Jen is an expert at many things, but perhaps the quality I appreciate most about her is her innate ability to establish a genuine connection with her clients. She cares deeply about your success.  About 95% of my auditions have been self-tapes since COVID emerged. Jen massively upgraded my lighting and at-home self-tape game by 200%.”

“Jen came into my literary life at exactly the right moment. Her guidance, strategy, and encouragement helped me navigate major opportunities with clarity and confidence, and played a meaningful role in my receiving two additional literary awards. Beyond the applications themselves, she also encouraged me to think bigger about literary community — building relationships with fellow writers, panelists, and organizations, and what it means to build a life in letters. Jen brings practical wisdom and genuine care to everything she does.”

Author, Rattle Prize Poet

“I was very nervous about handling the technology at the same time as presenting my material with smiles and eye contact.  It was a lot.  Jen helped me with the technology and the material, as well as with my presentation skills. Rehearsing with her feedback gave my confidence a boost, and my presentation went much better, thanks to Jen.”
