Hi, I'm Jennifer 👋🙂 I help professors build their online presence. I empower academics to be confident sharing their work on social media and websites. Here's a bit about me 🤗 -I live in San Diego -I have 2 cats, Bartlet and Ash -I'm planning my wedding (in 2024) -I'm a poet

Thinking about photography for your personal academic website? I interviewed my team, a professional photographer and a makeup / hair artist and stylist, for this episode of The Social Academic podcast. theacademicdesigner.com/2025/photograp…

Get inspired for your personal academic website. Save this post for later. These award winning websites from faculty, researchers, and grad students have lots to admire. I hope you get ideas and motivation for your own website project theacademicdesigner.com/2025/winners-o…

Watching art videos makes me happy. Making them? I didn't know it would bring joy to my life 🎨 This is the art channel I started with my family. It features my father-in-law, Bob. The videos are by my husband, Matthew. I took most of the photos too 📸 🫶 youtu.be/Yqj4FO55mzk

I helped Bob (my father-in-law) record a short video about one of his favorite books of 2025, Muybridge by Guy Delisle from Drawn & Quarterly 📚 youtube.com/shorts/IAI6n8_…

I just sent along a draft of a professor's new academic bio. I hope she likes it ✨ I took extra time because in our interview a bunch of things came up that weren't in her initial bio. They deserved space too. What do you care about that didn't make it in your bio? ✍️

To everyone who sacrificed their well-being for workplaces that didn’t see your worth—Never Defeated is for you. It’s time to reclaim your value, heal, and thrive. Your journey to self-empowerment starts here. a.co/d/fzETykq

Show and Tell feels like going back to elementary school in the best kind of way. When I joined the Association of Higher Education Consulting and Coaching, I was delighted to meet people I care about. The last Show and Tell? Warm and welcoming. Now it's my turn ✨
