Jen completed her undergraduate senior thesis on Howard
Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligence
and its effect on self-esteem, attendance rates and love of
learning in 1994 and in the years prior to
founding Kidzmet, she worked in the education industry in
various capacities including brand and
product management for JumpStart educational software and in
marketing for a non-traditional
post-secondary certification. Once she became a parent, she
started seeing just how differently her
kids learned than she did...and was reminded how critical it
is that teachers and parents “get” how
each unique student likes to learn in order for kids to
become engaged, enthusiastic learners. She
also started to realize how many parents didn’t know personality-based
techniques and strategies that
could help their kids learn how to learn better.
Ms. Lilienstein currently serves on the Editorial Board of
