Hi, I'm Jenny.

Founder and Principal Learning Strategist for Northstar Learning Studio

Learning isn't the goal. Performance is.

Northstar Learning Studio partners with organizations to design learning strategies, onboarding programs, and custom eLearning that improve performance and drive measurable results. 

When evaluating training, we don't start with content. We start with the business problem. Every recommendation is tied to improving performance, not just creating training.

"Jenny transformed complex business needs into clear, engaging learning experiences that made an impact. She quickly built trust with our team, asked the right questions, and delivered solutions that were both creative and practical.

Anastasia

SaaS L&D Manager

"I had the pleasure of working with Jenny as a student in two AR for Learning courses. What immediately stood out about Jenny was her ability to grab onto an idea and run with it! One example that comes to mind is a project to create a 360 image AR experience. Jenny’s creativity sprung to life in this one! She not only met the project requirements but took it up a notch with her scary storytelling! Beyond their technical expertise, Jenny consistently brought creativity with precision while learning the mechanics needed to execute in AR quickly. I would not hesitate to work with Jenny again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and creative Senior ID or LXD."

Betty Dannewitz

Learning Solutions Architect at Blanchard

"I started working with Jenny in 2021 when she joined ELB Learning as an Instructional Designer. Over the years, I watched her grow, both in her design craft and as a leader.

When our company went through a major global acquisition, Jenny stepped up to help integrate and onboard our newly acquired instructional design teams, making sure everyone felt supported and integrated into their new organization's processes and standards.

When she was promoted to Instructional Design Manager, she balanced her own customer work while mentoring and reviewing the work of her team. She was committed to making sure the work was high quality and on scope. Jenny not only took ownership of her own work, but also of the work of the entire team.

Jenny is an early riser, an incredibly hard worker, and someone who genuinely cares about her team and those she works with. Any organization should feel confident about adding Jenny as a member to their team."
