Jen would like to recognize her magnificent creative teammates Meg Garrioch (who helps make all visions and chicken scratches into something incredible!), Allecia Robb (who’s tireless enthusiasm aids in improving the Co-op program at every turn!), and All the Artists and Leadership Team at Big Jump Entertainment, without whom, Jennifer would not be having such a wonderful time; and to whom she owes all her thanks and respect!
