One of Jennifer's most notable accomplishments in the publicity arena was garnering then unknown cookbook author Rachael Ray national media attention. As a book publicist at National Book Network just outside Washington, D.C. in 2001, Jennifer was working with numerous publishers to bring awareness to their titles, including Lake Isle Press, Ray's publisher. Jennifer was responsible for securing Ray's first national television appearance when she booked her on "The NBC Today Show." Jennifer also spread the word about Ray to "The Food Network." Immediately after her appearance on "The Today Show," Comfort Foods, the title Jennifer was publicizing for Ray and Lake Isle Press, shot to the top five in Amazon.com sales and "The Food Network" called Jennifer to schedule a meeting with Ray to discuss her own show.
Jennifer has also worked with Oettinger and Associates, a Washington, D.C. area PR firm, on four independent film campaigns, including for The War Tapes, Sweet Land, Flannel Pajamas, and David & Layla. Other prior experience includes serving as Marketing Director for a grassroots film festival in Orlando, Fla.
