Jenny Maxwell graduated from Muhlenberg College, majoring in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship. She is currently a Program Manager at the Iacocca Institute of Lehigh University.

While studying at Muhlenberg, Jennifer continued to run her organization, Real Education for Dignity (RED), in Liberia, which empowers girls through awareness of menstruation, menstrual hygiene, and reproductive health. She had successfully implemented RED’s menstrual health program, providing education and sanitary pads to over 1,000 girls in Liberia. Jennifer was an active SHE-CAN big sister on campus, providing mentorship to young women in the SHE-CAN network. She also served as the Vice President of BYOB, an entrepreneurship club on campus, and was the Acting President of The Youth Advisory Panel for the Jewel Starfish Foundation, an organization that provides scholarships and mentorship to Liberian girls. Jenny also served as a Planning Coordinator for Smiling Faces International and remotely aids the Liberian Poet Society with designing programs and executing policies. She was selected as a recipient of the SHE-CAN Make A Change Program, where she led the Senji Pad Project (another RED initiative) at home in Liberia.

Jenny is strongly interested in women’s health, poetry, marketing, and entrepreneurship. She believes that writing poetry is a form of therapy that is free of charge and was declared a winner of the Liberian Counties Meet Peace Poetry Competition in 2018. In the future, she hopes to start her own digital marketing business in Liberia, helping to create jobs at home.
