Jenn got her start in progressive politics as an undergraduate at UT at Austin, where she was a volunteer organizer for Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign. She went on to volunteer for Obama’s reelection campaign after completing a teaching fellowship with the New Teacher Project in New Orleans, LA aimed at combating the school-to-prison pipeline.

She subsequently worked with Elizabeth Warren for President and later led statewide digital programs for Mike Bloomberg for President and U.S. Senator Chris Coons. In the two latter campaigns respectively, she led the state digital strategy in Maine and Delaware to help support Democratic wins in the 2020 election cycle. At 50+1 Strategies, Jenn has overseen several critical campaigns, including diverse paid media work supporting President Biden’s legislative wins, such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, and the digital media for L.A. Mayor Karen Bass’s historic campaign.
Jenn has also worked in the nonprofit and international fields. She is a military brat who grew up all over the country, though her family originally hails from sunny San Diego, California. She and her husband Daniel, along with their baby daughter Lucia, love spending time in nature with their Pomsky, Zorro. Jenn also loves reading, traveling, gastronomy, and spending time in museums. Her political passions include racial and economic justice, women’s rights and ending mass incarceration.
