Firecircle Ignite Facilitator

Jennifer Verch

Jen is a Facilitator at Firecircle who has a passion for helping people be the best they can be.

She comes to Firecircle from a communications and marketing background. She worked at the Downtown Winnipeg Business Improvement Zone (BIZ) for 10 years as Communications & Marketing Manager before taking time away from her career to raise her children. At the Downtown BIZ, she wrote a variety of communications materials, coordinated marketing campaigns, planned events, and wrote media releases. An avid learner, she studied Sociology and Psychology at the University of Manitoba (B.A.) before completing the Creative Communications program at Red River College in Winnipeg, with a major in Public Relations.

Jen has volunteered at her kids’ schools for 13 years, helping with everything from publicity and website updates to organizing surveys and the hot lunch program. She loves to travel and take her kids on day trips around Manitoba - planning out the itineraries of where to go is one of her favourite things! She also enjoys reading, baking, designing photobooks, and spending time at her family’s cabin. She lives in Winnipeg with her husband, three kids, and her little dog, Lucy.
