Jennifer Hedayat is a lifelong storyteller who spent a couple of decades teaching high school English and Theatre Arts, coaching improvisation, and unleashing young voices through poetry slams. A podcast host focused on the beautifully messy “sandwiched generation,” she now turns the mic toward late bloomers—proof that growth doesn’t expire.

Founder of Penwick Papers, Jennifer lives for reading, writing, narrating audiobooks, globetrotting with her husband, and joyfully frolicking with her grandbabies (the most demanding—and rewarding—audience of all).
