Travels
from: Sioux City, IA
Fee Range: Varies*
This 'life enthusiast' has the reputation of being a 'WOW" speaker with the ability of delivering a message which is not only educational and entertaining but inspirational as well! Meeting planners love her unique skills in which she knows how to grab the audience's attention, uses her outrageous true life stories (and props), all wrapped around the theme of the meeting. This lady knows exactly how to make a program unforgetably FUN!!
In her past life, Jenny was a nurse, educator, and consultant. . . just to mention a few of her many careers. Now she is having a wonderful time traveling the U.S. encouraging her audiences to "loosen up'!
She's a member of National Speakers Association, Association for Applied Therapeutic Humor, Women's Ecommerce Association International, Clowns of America International, Toastmaster's International and more!
Talk about someone who is an expert on the subject of humor, Jenny is the first Certified Laughter Leader in the state of Iowa! She feels it an honor to have traveled to hospitals, nursing homes, orphanages and schools in China as a clown with a Fun Medicine delegation led by the famous clown/physician, Dr. Patch Adams. She has awesome stories about her experience working with the rescue workers at Ground Zero only nine weeks after the tragedy (again as a clown ambassador!). She doesn't leave anything up to your imagination when she relives her stories with her audiences!
Her best seller autobiography, "You Laugh, I'll Drive!" takes you on a wild, uplifting ride into how she learned to laugh, in spite of life's speed bumps!
If you're looking for the key ingredient to having a memorable event . . . you'd better talk to Jenny!

"I was one of the 500+ people in the audience in Des Moines this summer at the NGB Family Workshop. It had been a long time since I laughed that much! You were terrific and your presentation motivated me to follow up with World Laughter Tour and become a Certified Laughter Leader myself. Thanks for all you do with laughter and especially thank you for motivating me to get involved."- Colonel James Scott
