Hi, I'm Jenie.

I am an EMMY™ nominated marketing and communications leader.  After nearly 20 years working for Fortune 500 retail and consumer product goods companies, I changed lanes in 2014 to dedicate my work toward my first love: the Performing Arts.  Since then, I've led communications, marketing, and audience engagement efforts for Interlochen Center for the Arts, La Jolla Music Society, and the San Diego Symphony. I now serve as the Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Overture Center for the Arts in Madison, Wisconsin and share the role of CEO with six of my colleagues on the Executive Leadership Team In 2023, I launched my Idealchemy newsletter to spread a little joy and share my love of all things pop-culture.

CHIEF IDEALCHEMIST & BEAUTY SEEKER

I want to hear what you're reading, watching, and listening to!

Welcome to Idealchemy

I'm your Chief Idealchemist, and a true Midwesterner at heart. With a 30-year career crafting compelling content for Fortune 500 companies and non-profits, I've transformed my love for all things pop-culture into a bi-monthly newsletter that’s a delightful mix of what I’m reading, watching, listening to, and recommending.

​

I hail from Michigan, and recently returned to the Midwest in 2023 after nearly a decade soaking up the sun in Southern California. Madison, Wisconsin, is now home, where I live and work. I love my rescue cat, Tippi Hedren (yes, named after the Hitchcock star!), and my wonderful family. I have two amazing children on the brink of adulthood and a soulmate husband, Mark, who’s an actor and former soap opera star!

​

Join me on this pop culture adventure, where we mix a bit of Midwest charm with Hollywood flair.
