From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out

“Jennifer has consistently reimagined what early career recruitment can look like by meeting Gen Z candidates where they are — both digitally and experientially. At Chamberlain Group, she revitalized their internship and co-op program with a student-first lens, designing experiences rooted in community-building, storytelling, and authentic engagement. She implemented innovative touchpoints like behind-the-scenes social media campaigns highlighting intern experiences in real time, curated mentorship programs pairing interns with recent graduates for candid career conversations, and hosted virtual “day-in-the-life” panels featuring early career employees across diverse functions and geographies.

Previously at IBM, Jennifer led the creation of signature programming for graduate interns that extended beyond traditional recruiting — blending technical development with wellness workshops, networking mixers, and storytelling events spotlighting underrepresented talent. She championed initiatives that humanized the candidate journey, modernized employer branding for a digital-first audience, and prioritized meaningful connection over transactional interactions. Jennifer’s approach has consistently closed the gap between traditional campus recruiting models and the expectations of Gen Z jobseekers.”
