Hello, I’m Jen! As a veteran and technologist, I've been deeply ingrained in logical and analytical occupations. My innate programming, however, granted me with a creative and intuitive nature. With a background in cybersecurity and with roles such as Incident Commander, I'm seasoned in the art of leading high-stakes incidents through complex technical challenges, bringing order to chaos with both precision and imagination.
Eventually, I left my career with the handsome salary, benefits, and prestige to build something personal and meaningful with my own two hands. My personal journey of transitioning from a thriving corporate career to a life driven by purpose and creativity challenge me deeply in ways that only a paradigm shift could. This story inspires audiences to reimagine what’s possible for their own lives. As the founder of Boba Type, a playful apparel brand for bubble tea lovers, a YouTube creator documenting my self-development journey, and a technologist, I bridge the worlds of technical expertise and human-centered creativity.
My keynote talk, 'Right Hemisphere Girl in a Left Hemisphere Word,' is a message to creatives in technical spaces of how their gifts enhance their workplace and their work. For the bold dreamers, 'Breaking Out of the Gilded Cage,' is my keynote talk to empower audiences to find the courage to leave comfortable yet unfulfilling paths and design meaningful, fulfilling futures.
Blending military discipline, technical insight, and creative passion, my talks resonate deeply with professionals ready to take bold steps toward transformation."
