    jinnYouity - Founder

    jinnYouity

    Using words, passion and heart, I craft communications that reach up and down the corporate ladder, making sure everyone is heard and understood.

    As a prolific writer, I am blessed to be able to articulate thoughts, ideas and perspectives in such a way that others can learn, grow and understand. I’ve never met a stranger and my circle of influence grows with every plane flight, conference, course, and meeting I attend.

    I’ve been blessed to work in higher education, more specifically information technology and STEM areas, but those experiences have allowed me to work with tech-savvy students, faculty, professionals and researchers who have all added to my own industry experience and education. The young minds I am around on a daily basis are a constant source of inspiration, enthusiasm and collaboration – we don’t know it all and they don’t know it all, but together we can figure it all out.

    I have also been fortunate to have worked for organizations like ABC News and Good Morning America, while celebrating small business wins with my fellow Just Between Friends franchisees. Learning theory is important, but putting what you learn into practice is invaluable. However, I was gifted an even more valuable experience – that of being able to share what I learned, through formal and informal training, with others who were following in my footsteps.
