Project Coordinator Jennifer Wirowek believes that the smooth flow of information is healthy for an organization. "Bad internal communication is like a clogged artery," she said. "People might ignore it for awhile, but sooner or later it can cripple an organization."

"Without good communication, businesses can’t function efficiently," she said. "You really need to keep it open and transparent, so that employees know what’s going on and feel engaged in their work."

Jennifer, a graduate of the University of San Diego, joined ROI Communication from a background in marketing and distribution. As a Marketing and Communications Manager at a leading health care market research company, Jennifer interviewed clients, wrote extensively, edited the firm’s external newsletter and streamlined production of promotional materials. Currently, she’s working on ROI Communication’s Hewlett-Packard team on a variety of projects.

While she’s adept in professional settings, Jennifer is equally confident outdoors, whether skiing, shooting trap or hitting the links. As a former competitive golfer, she learned a lot about performing under pressure, with little room for error.

"Golfing is just like life," she said. "You can either get frustrated or stressed about something, or you can let those negative emotions go and simply concentrate on the challenge ahead."
