Jen Armel, Founder, TOmillennials - Manager, Internal Communications | Enercare Inc.
Known as the ‘Kale Queen,’ Jen Armel’s passion for health and wellness started in her early 20’s when she began taking a look at what foods she was putting into her body and how it made her feel (at the time, like crap)! This kicked-off her journey into learning more about the science of nutrition, wellness and how the foods we eat can impact our bodies, how we feel, the environment and animal well-being. She believes that we can live a balanced lifestyle, if we prioritize our health, which in her opinion, is wealth!
Also a graduate from Wilfrid Laurier University’s honours communication studies degree program and Seneca College’s postgraduate corporate communications/PR program, Jen also has a passion for helping small businesses get their messages out clearly, concisely and accurately using an array of communications techniques. Jen’s love of writing/blogging, social media and relationship-building have helped various organizations reach their target audiences with sharp and meaningful information.
