Administration & Marketing

Jennifer joined the Stratford Chefs School in Administration & Marketing in October 2018, soon after returning to her hometown of Stratford, having lived and worked for many years in Toronto. Jennifer was Associate Director of Marketing for Canadian Stage following several years in the film distribution business in Publicity and Promotions roles, and as Director of Marketing with Entertainment One and Alliance Films. Fun film highlights include working on campaigns for Academy Award winning films Atonement and The King’s Speech, and getting thank you roses from Joaquin Phoenix after running his Canadian press tour.

A passionate cheerleader for arts, culture, and all things Stratford, Jennifer is thrilled to be back to her hometown and part of the talented team at Stratford Chefs School. Not only does she love the fantastic Chefs School dinners, Jennifer delights in supporting the staff, faculty and the next generation of Chefs during their time at SCS.
