Colleagues describe her as "I've worked directly with Jen since 2005 at the Independent, as well as tangentially at other music related events. She not only has a thorough grasp of the tasks at hand, whatever the case; she goes above and beyond general expectations with a critical eye and attention to detail, focusing on each problem and brainstorming various ways to arrive at the best solution. She has been helpful to me on numerous occasions, ensuring that I thoroughly understand any challenge I have or may encounter. Jen was the first person to train me in ticketing at the Independent. Her methods are organized and simple, so that on any night, when unexpected events arise, the problems can be traced back with minimal effort. Having implemented her basic but important approaches into my own practice over a decade ago, I've always appreciated this exposure as a foundation for any office environment moving forward. I'm always impressed with her loyalty and dedication to doing the job right, and I enjoy being in her presence in the work place. She approaches each job with the perfect, delicate balance of humor, intuition, and camaraderie without sacrificing her own responsibilities and serious tenets wherever applicable. I'm happy to call her a friend and always glad to see her in both personal and professional settings." and "Where there is no process, she will establish it. I met Jen almost ten years ago and she became my mentor without realizing it. We have worked together in a few capacities and each time she has been a thorough teacher and guide. I have yet to meet anyone with attention to detail that comes close to Jen's. Whatever she is working on, you can trust that nothing will fall through the cracks. She always leaves things better off than she first found them. She is truly incredible."
