Jenny Robertson is senior manager of Marketplace Communications and Events at FedEx Office. She has worked for FedEx for more than five years including a previous stint at FedEx Services in Memphis, Tenn. Jenny lives in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, with her husband, young son and two cats. As the working mother of a rambunctious two-year-old boy, she finds sanity through creative outlets like sewing and making homemade gifts. Jenny loves to go overboard with things like Halloween costumes and birthday parties. She is also an avid “Mommy Blogger,” keeping family and friends up to date with her son’s milestones and memorable moments. And while Jenny loves to entertain with fun parties and themed get-togethers, she’s much more inclined to do so if someone else is cooking!
