Hello from San Diego!

Hi! I’m Jenny, Customer Experience Manager with Apeel Sciences. I work remote in the town I have lived in for over 20 years, beautiful San Diego, CA. I love hot yoga, spin, brunch, listening to music, singing and playing guitar and trying to keep house plants alive. While I didn’t ever intend to become a Social Media Manger, my work in CX has led me to understand the importance and value of community. I am constantly seeking ways to improve the community experience and can’t wait to learn from you all!
