About

Hi! I’m Jenny Rose, and I’m obsessed with clear, concise communication that inspires action.

For more than 20 years, I’ve been working with organizations focused on serving patients, healing the environment, educating global citizens and reaching across aisles. Staying on message and on brand is important to me, which is why I called this thing here Little Shed.

I grew up on 12 acres in rural northwestern Wisconsin and bring this inevitable no-nonsense, nose-to-the-grindstone ethic to every project in my lap. From magazine stories to robust communications plans, I am ready to dig in.

I have a B.A. in Journalism from the University of St. Thomas and an M.A. in liberal studies with a focus on oral history and documentary from Hamline University, both in St. Paul, Minn., so you could say I’m passionate about getting the story right. Take a look at my LinkedIn.

Let me know how I can help.
