Hi, I'm Jennifer.

HubSpot Community Champion

This is a little bit about my journey so far and how I've bridged the gap between Marketers and Developers in the HubSpot ecosystem.

A Little Background

I'm Adaptable

You might be surprised to learn that my degree is in Architecture and that I started my career as an Architectural Designer.

I leveraged my web dev and graphic design skills to transition my career to Marketing, where many of my roles have involved rebrands, website launches, and building strategic plans from the ground up. Marketing led to RevOps by way of my first HubSpot implementation in 2016, which led to a deeper dive into technical consulting, development, and building community.

I'm Strategic

I create well-crafted strategies that focus on long-term goal alignment, while still striking a balance to address immediate needs.

Much like in architecture, I'm able to conceptualize an idea at the highest level and plan it down to the smallest detail. I break things down into micro-strategies to execute projects effectively with the flexibility to pivot if needed.

I'm Resourceful

I'm always the first to roll up my sleeves and work on finding a solution to a new problem.

There's ideal, and then sometimes there are things that just need to get done. If there's a problem to solve, I'm known to find a workaround or hack that will keep things moving forward and often get creative with finding a solution. I've been busy exploring how to leverage AI to push the limits further.

I'm Collaborative

Whether it's joining forces internally or building communities online, I find joy in working together with others.

Having crafted teams from scratch, I'm well-versed in the nuances of being a solo act and thrive in environments where independence is key. However, some my greatest achievements stem from connecting and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

T Wishnoff

S. Laur

"The documentation has also been stellar for figuring out how to get that last ounce of customizability."

Tim W.
Technology - Software

"I work at a business that prides itself on customer support as it is the backbone of our retention. But I have never worked with anyone who has gone over and above like Jen Nixon at Maka Agency. Nothing was too small and she was incredibly patient with me the entire time while she tried to impart some of her vast knowledge on to me. Easily the best experience I have ever had with an Agency."
