Meet Jenna Keenan – Office Administrator & Busy Bee

What drew you to Hoyle Tanner?

Michelle Stewart! I was instantly drawn in after hearing all about Hoyle Tanner and its culture.

What’s something invaluable you’ve learned here?

Not everything is due ASAP.  Usually, my brain gets a task and wants to get it done immediately. Being an office administrator means I get pieces of projects from several people.  Sometimes all at once. Organizing which tasks have the most importance has been key.

What’s your favorite time of year to work at Hoyle Tanner & why?

I started in September… soooo Holiday time seems like a great choice!

What’s the coolest thing you are working on & why?

Hard to say because I have my hands in so many projects. All with small parts.

What’s the best thing that’s happened to you recently (this week, this month, this year)?

I am coaching both of my boys’ basketball teams (6- and 7-years-old). Love seeing and being a part of them playing sports/doing something they love!

One. Just good old New Hampshire.
