About Jen

Look, I'm pretty sure that we're all just figuring this out as we go along, right? So, the highlights: I write things (sometimes essays/articles, sometimes video scripts), I edit things other people wrote, and I talk a lot. I like cars. I like to cook. I'm an honorary Italian. And, not least, I'm a mom of two amazing children. I'm passionate about freedom. Somehow, I manage to make a living doing (some of) these things.
