Jennifer Beale

Values/Strengths:

Ideation - I brainstorm with students for solutions, with colleauges in meetings and with my kids to find interesting activities. I find brainstorming to be a great way to come up with choices which can feel empowering.

Communication - I enjoy getting an idea across, especially in an analogy in conversation or presenting.

Arranger - Working Part-time and managing 3 young kids, I love to create some order when a lot is concurrently going on. Calendars are my friend.

Relator – I value character more than a title, and value trust in a work environment. Genuine is an important word for me.

Responsibility – I value dependability and follow-through. I am ethical and have high standards, I think that fits into Bryn Mawr well, and definitely plays into my parenting.

My first job after college was: Program Assistant at Philadelphia Futures

My job during college was: Babysitting/Panera/Summer Lifeguard/Counselor

Things I enjoy outside of work are: Nature and travel

Causes I am passionate about are: public libraries, breastfeeding
