In 2005, Jen was proud to be part of the original launch staff of Positive Thinking Magazine.

She was named a CNN Young Person Who Rocks, and was profiled in Cosmo and on NPR.
Jen is also a sometime performer, having been seen on stage at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, the Magnet, the PIT, Carnegie Hall, The Village Light Opera, and heard under the stage at the Blue Man Group off-Broadway. A classically trained singer, Jen was a founding member of the musical improv groups Melodious Din and The Pearl Brunswick. She still performs when the fancy strikes, and she really likes steak.
