She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from the University of Wisconsin and an MBA in Marketing from the University of Minnesota. After her undergraduate degree, Jennifer worked in the food, agriculture and commodities industry as an International Auditor for Cargill, Incorporated. Marilyn later joined American Express as a procedures and controls specialist and subsequently worked as their Director of Financial Operations. Marilyn’s professional career enabled her to travel the world and experience the food cycle from beginning to end, and in many different cultures. After a long career in the corporate world, Marilyn decided to become a stay-at-home mom and pursue her passions, many relating to food, home and health. While she hasn’t had years of formal culinary training, she has found there is often no better challenge to your cooking skills than being married and having children. For her, the upside has been the opportunity for experimenting with new recipes and endless trial and error. Marilyn has always been passionate about cooking because it brings people together. From her childhood days to present, food has always been a means of celebration where you get together with family and friends and enjoy great food and conversation. In 2005, she started her own media company, which initially was focused on website design and development. It has since grown into a unique network of websites, social media and books focused on a variety of lifestyle interests. Her books are designed to help people find inspiration and answers to questions they have in everyday life. Marilyn is a syndicated contributor to the eMJay Media network. You can join her at FoodThymes.com. Marilyn is also the author of 150 Best Breakfast Sandwich Maker Recipes, designed to help busy moms, college students and people on-the-go make a quick, easy and nutritious breakfast sandwich, light meal or snack; 150 Best Spiralizer Recipes, a fun and creative way to introduce more fruits and vegetables into your diet; as well as Cooking in Foil, a book that offers home cooks, BBQ’ers, campers and tailgate partiers, incredibly delicious and easy-to-make grilling and oven recipes that require minimal cleanup. Marilyn and her daughter, live in Madison, Wisconsin.
