Jen Engevik
Jennifer is currently working as a freelance writer for a handful of exciting brands. Throughout her career, she has marketed several top brands including Disney Aquatics, Land O’ Lakes, Cox Communications, TD Ameritrade, Time Warner, Body Glove Aquatics, Kaplan, Inc., The Emmy’s, Hamden Entertainment, iLoveInns.com, AirWalk, and more.
Educated by the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Journalism and the holder of an MA in English & Literature from La Sierra University, Jennifer lives to write, share ideas and inspire others to reach for their dreams. In fact, on November 20 2011 she was a speaker at the TEDx Bommer Canyon conference in Irvine, Calif., where she delivered a call to bold living.
Jennifer was a talented athlete in her high school days and named “Female Athlete of the Year” in her senior year 1995. She also played little league baseball (being one of the only girls in the league) until she was 13. In her Freshman year of college, Jennifer was a walk-on basketball recruit and fought to earn a starting spot on the squad as a small-forward – she was awarded an “All-Tournament Player” award at the end of the season.
In 2002, Jennifer was recruited to play professional women’s football for the Long Beach Aftershock. She is featured in a full-feature documentary Full Contact, which follows the team throughout the challenging season that saw the team go from underdogs to league champions.
Jennifer loves to travel the world and has visited Africa, Israel, Palestine, Europe and Central America. Her travels have led her to the conclusion that humanity is one big family – it just hasn’t realized it quite yet.

Nearly five years ago, I became obsessed with the concept of bold living. Something just wasn't working in my approach to life. With wild abandon, I began reading books by bold thinkers, interviewing & observing them and attempting to apply the principles they teach to my daily life. Over a span of time, I learned that we human beings have the power to create any scenario we wish to see. You and I can accomplish the seemingly impossible with a combination of inspiration, hard work, courage, and never-ending boldness.
