  “Jennifer Rudick Zunikoff is a brilliantly talented storyteller who gets into the inner depths of the characters that she portrays, personifying the mannerisms and     expressions that make them unique. She is able to deliver a much larger story than the individuals she portrays and to spark a flame inside each person in her        audience. Jennifer brought our Women’s Department alive at our annual meeting, honoring the work that we have done over the years through the eyes and      experiences of five women. As a result of her extensive research, she was able to articulate the broad scope of our programming and warmth through these  women’s experiences and personalities. The power of these stories told a beautiful tale and honored the valuable work we engage in each and every day.”
