What others are saying…

When looking for a teacher or mentor, you want someone with a wealth of direct experience, exhaustive expertise, and a keen eye for not just what you need to know but how to apply it all, too. You also likely want someone kind, empathetic, and genuine. Jen exemplifies these qualities, and Smart Event Academy is where she pours her passion and extensive knowledge – all to give you a solid foundation on which to build your own success and career.

Dorian Zimmerman / long time colleague

Jen is a guru of event tech. I have learned so much from her in the five years that Sound Planning has had the pleasure of working with her. She gracefully serves as translator between event stakeholders and event tech developers. I can’t wait to see her expertise shared broadly through the Smart Event Academy.

Founder of Salvador Guidebook

I moved to Salvador, Brazil in 2018 and never looked back. Salvador Guidebook is my love letter to Salvador and the resource I wish I’d had when I first started visiting this amazing city and region.
