"Jennifer’s genuine curiosity and ability to quickly connect with her guests made her a great producer, and she quickly gained a loyal following of people who were interested in her storytelling abilities."

Managing Editor, News24
Even when she was in high school, Jennifer was known for whipping up compelling and entertaining stories to engage her classmates. She would tell elaborate, amusing and dramatic stories in order to bring cheer to the monotony of her classes. Leadership was clearly in her blood!
Much has changed since then except one thing: her ability to tell stories. With over 10 years of experience in digital media and journalism, Jennifer can confidently say she’s found her passion.
Her love for bringing stories to life from the page to the screen has seen her work on both sides of the camera - and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
An MBA graduate from Rotman School of Management (U of T), she recently completed her executive education in business and entrepreneurship in 9 cities across the globe. Her love for culture, her passion for storytelling and her presence in front of the camera, has made her a formidable force in the industry.

Jennifer was part of the inaugural video team at News24, Africa’s largest digital publisher. During her 5 year stint in South Africa, she was one of the top lifestyle and entertainment journalists in the country, interviewing highly influential entertainers like Mos Def, Major Lazer and Omari Hardwick.
She is the co-creator of a digital series focused on sustainable fashion, coming to one of Canada’s largest broadcasters in 2021.
As a producer, she loves to bring stories to life and has done so for several brands and media organisations in Canada and South Africa including TD Bank, Nature Valley, Burger King, Global TV, CP24 and 680 News.
Today, Jennifer is the CMO for Streambed Media, a blockchain company offering video creators a way to claim ownership of their content and share rich analytics with stakeholders. She loves everything about digital video and ensures that she is continuously evolving with the industry.
Her podcast, Jenn Follows is known for its spunk, storytelling and cheerfulness - it is a way for her to tell the raw, unedited stories about the people who she finds interesting on social media.
She has interviewed and produced content for some of the biggest A-list celebrities, politicians, newsmakers and thought leaders. When she is not working, Jennifer can be found in the ring practising Muay Thai Boxing, or in a yoga studio - the hotter, the better.
