Charleston, SC

Hi. I'm Jennifer.

Just a Girl Friday

A "girl Friday" is an old-fashioned term for a resourceful right hand — the person you call when a process is broken, a system needs wiring together, or a project just needs someone capable to run it. That's me.

Introduction

Untangling clunky processes, one workflow at a time.

I'm a technology-focused problem solver with a background spanning operations, event management, marketing, and small business. I specialize in turning clunky processes into streamlined, automated workflows that actually work for the people using them.

I've lived and worked across the country — from Tulsa to Michigan to Chicago — and since 2013 I've been happily based in Charleston, SC. I'm open to a variety of projects; you can learn more about my experience on LinkedIn, and I'd love to hear from you if you'd like to collaborate.
