Jenn’s super power is her Cyber Power!  She’s the mastermind behind launch funnels, conversion, Google docs, spreadsheets, opt-in and sales pages and pretty much anything cyber and business related.  Jenn is a Mom-preneur which means when she’s not working she can be found hanging with her family and traveling. She goes to sleep deeply grateful every day.
