Jennifer Donovan

Jennifer manages operations at NW Public Affairs, keeping the firm’s finances, tax obligations, and internal processes running smoothly. Her effective writing, public relations, and project management skills are critical assets to the firm, as is the optimism and creativity she brings to everything she does.

Alongside her work at NW Public Affairs, Jennifer teaches English online to teenagers and adults in Guadalajara, Mexico, helping them build fluency to improve academic results and expand their career opportunities.

Jennifer received a B.A. in Political Science at Willamette University, then divided her time between Portland and France for several years. As a tour director for a Swedish company, she led American high school students and their French teachers around France, picking them up in a tour bus at the airport in Paris and whisking them away on 2-3 week explorations. Outside of the tourist season, she worked as staff for ballot measure campaigns in Portland.

Jennifer managed advertising and ballot measure campaigns for clients such as Portland General Electric and Oregon Health & Science University before deciding to join NW Public Affairs in 2006.
