hi my name is
jennifer
I’m originally from New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, an area with a rich heritage, vibrant music scene and beaches galore. I grew up skiing in the winters, playing in the ocean in the summers, and filling the rest of my time with music by playing piano, flute and singing.
After studying at Acadia University in Wolfville, NS, I put my degrees in music and education to use and spent several years teaching in Nova Scotia and Quebec. Then I decided to figure out how to expand my teaching and coaching skills to the business community and enrolled in the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, NS. I finished the program with an MBA with concentration in marketing and headed west to Vancouver, BC, working in product development for a chocolate factory and as a marketing manager for a recruitment company.
I soon found myself living in the breathtaking town of Whistler, BC and working in the ski industry. Although known as a resort municipality, Whistler boasts a strong, tight-knit community of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs and was the perfect place to combine my coaching skills and marketing background. I started Jenuine Marketing, which gave me the opportunity to work with fabulous business owners, both in the Sea to Sky region and across the country, helping to hone and enhance their online marketing endeavours.
After spending ten years living in Whistler, with a two-year move to Nova Scotia in between, I am happy to call Squamish, BC home. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the parks and trails in Squamish with my family, downhill skiing in the winter, and learning to mountain bike in the summer.
Credentials:
- Bachelor of Education
- Masters in Business Administration
- Associate Certificate in Web Design
the business
I started Jenuine Marketing in 2011, after chatting with several small-to-medium business owners. I realized that although they were all amazing at what they did, many of the business owners were struggling with figuring out how to tell their company’s story online. They felt stressed, time-crunched, and overwhelmed at the idea of creating or upgrading their website, and fitting web updates into their already busy days. With my marketing education, coaching background and love of all things computers, launching a web design business seemed like a great fit!
Today, I design custom websites for businesses and organizations, based on their logos, colours, mission, vision, and anything else that makes them unique. The ancient art of storytelling is reimagined online in the form of a beautiful, custom websites that combine words and imagery.
let’s work together!
