Her exposure to the fashion industry and stage lead her into a career that has ran the artistic gamut from commercial photography to stage design to creative direction. Prior to establishing her consultancy, Jeni co-founded Big Fish, a staffing firm specializing in the creative and marketing industries in 1994 and continues to oversee the company's development.

With the demands of a career, a business and most importantly, a family, Jeni has truly learned the fine art of a life grounded in balance and has shared her experiences with hundreds of professionals worldwide.

An avid surfer and water-skier, Jeni divides her time between the beaches of California, Hawaii and the Emerald City of Seattle, WA with her husband and three children, ages 13, 17 and 21 years.
