BA, Sociology, UC Santa Cruz

Parent of Jonas, Bay Class of 2023

Running Bay’s marketing and communications office is a dream-come-true job for Jennifer, having admired the school from afar for many years. A longtime communications professional, she still derives joy from the work of creating a well-crafted message. Doing this work in a school as consistently interesting as Bay, with insightful and collaborative colleagues, is incredibly gratifying. 

Precept affinity: We value communication; we don’t harbor anger or ill will, especially toward ourselves. 
“Communication is difficult, but setting an intention for it allows you to continually improve. We will misstep—and it is important to see and acknowledge when we do—but when we offer ourselves grace, it becomes easier to offer grace to others.”
