worked with Jennifer: as freelance blogger
"I have had the pleasure of working with Jennifer in the marketing blog Editor in Chief role at Holiday Inn Club Vacations and she is a true gem!
She is professional, warm and inviting as well as the BEST at what she does. She always made me feel comfortable, ready to tackle the tasks at hand, and made the experience all-around a very pleasant one for me and family at all times.
In this industry and in today's fast-paced world, finding those that are so inviting, organized and professional is rare, but with Jennifer, she has those all those qualities and more! We are lucky to have met her and to have been able to experience her working relationship, and look forward to any future endeavors!"
