Beyond the office: Getting to know Jennifer Wood
Meet Jennifer Wood, better known as Jen to the team, our inspiring and refreshingly upbeat Vice President of Business Development. Known for her boundless enthusiasm and adventurous spirit, Jen plays a crucial role in driving growth and building new partnerships at Touchwork. But there’s much more to Jen than meets the eye.
Beyond borders
When Jen isn’t in her hometown of Parkton, Maryland, you’ll likely find her exploring new destinations. With travels spanning 40 states and 5 continents, her love for adventure is evident. Jen lives life to the fullest, whether she’s planning a hike, organizing a family trip, or catching up with friends. Her weekends are almost always packed with activities, though her husband might have mixed feelings about her busy social calendar!
From hiking trails to hardware aisles
Jennifer’s talents range from her passion for hiking to her hands-on skills acquired in her teenage years. Her love for hiking began during a cross-country family trip and has become a central part of her life. For over a decade, she’s also devoted her time to coaching her kids’ soccer teams – a role she’s wrapping up this year. Her unexpected skills started in her teenage years when she helped her family build an addition to their home. Her early experience in electrical work and plumbing led to a job at a local hardware store, where her expertise often amazed customers, showcasing impressive hands-on abilities for someone so young.
Superpowers to make a difference
When asked about her ideal superpower, Jen chooses the ability to see into the future. Her plan? To win the lottery, fund after-school programs, make a positive difference for those in need, and create unforgettable vacations for her loved ones. If you know Jen, you’ll appreciate how her strategic mindset would make the most of this one-day superpower.
Dinner with a twist: Malala vs. Snoop
Jen’s choices for a dream dinner guest reflect her diverse interests. While she admires Malala Yousafzai for her courage, she’s equally intrigued by the idea of dining with Snoop Dogg, especially after his Olympic commentary. Malala or Snoop, if you’re reading this—Jen’s calendar is wide open!
A new challenge: Fasting
Jennifer recently embarked on a health journey by completing a 5-day fast. Driven by her passion for natural health and intrigued by the benefits of fasting, she decided to give it a try after a friend’s suggestion. Jen’s persistence in sticking with this fast, no matter how challenging, is a clear reflection of her dedication and grit. Go Jen!
Jen’s vibrant personality and diverse interests make her a standout member of our team. Her adventurous spirit and dedication to both personal and professional growth inspire us all. We look forward to seeing the new heights she’ll reach both in and out of the office!
