Hello, my name is Jennifer Katz.

On this website you will find my digital resume, marketing and writing samples and numerical data from my work using social media and various software programs, as well as professional recommendations and other information.

This website is a display of the experience, skills and knowledge I have gained throughout my professional career and through my personal interests.

Throughout my professional and personal lives these four words, read, write, research and relate have proven to be thematic and have significantly influenced how I interpret the world, operate within it, and communicate with those whom I share it.  

These four words will provide context as you journey through my professional life path (AKA Resume), as well as explain why I have worked in so many bookstores (see "Employers" tab).

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at any time. 

Thank you for visiting.
