About Jeni: I am an experienced project manager, instructional designer, and creative director with expertise conceptualizing, designing, and researching innovative education programs that combine a thoughtful blend of technology, inquiry, and project-based learning. I have a special passion for the environment, geography, and international studies. My experiences growing up abroad and working with schools worldwide have imbued me with a unique perspective as an instructional designer. I enjoy engaging diverse groups in transformational learning experiences, building learner confidence and community, and designing learning that is playful and visually engaging. I serve as the communications coordinator for the Staff Advisory Team (SAT) at MIIS, and am a member of the MIIS Committee on Art in Public Places.

When not working, you’ll likely find me out on a trail somewhere at one of our beautiful state or national parks.
