If people had exposure to more things, it would take them less time to find the thing that they’re interested in.
About Jennifer
- I grew up in northern New Jersey.
- My father was an engineer and my mother had a Ph.D. in philosophy, and they both encouraged my sister and me to explore math, science, and the natural world around us.
- I gravitated toward math and sciences classes throughout middle school and high school.
- I earned my bachelor’s degree in materials science and engineering from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania.
- While working for IBM, I decided to get my master’s degree in engineering science—I love learning and knew the degree would enhance my skills, so going back to school seemed right for me.
- After becoming a manager, I wanted to learn more about good management and leadership practices, so I decided to get a second master’s degree in engineering management.
- I currently work as a divisional technical communications manager for Entegris, which is a supplier for the semiconductor industry.
- In addition to working for Entegris, I’m also a lecturer at the Tufts Gordon Institute at Tufts University, where I teach a course in engineering leadership.
