Jenny Martin

Have you ever had a nickname (or two)?  If so, what are/were they?

I’ve never had a dedicated nickname, only shortened versions of Jennifer (Jenny, Jen, etc). I do get a lot of Forrest Gump references thrown my way, though.

When you were 8 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was very, very young, I was convinced I wanted to either be an artist or work in an ice cream shop. However, my grandmother was always telling me I’d make a good engineer, so I decided I wanted to do that instead. Well, here we are, 15 years later!

What about ALL4 has surprised you the most?

It surprised me how welcomed and a part of the company I felt, even on my very first day. Everyone seems dedicated to making each employee feel right at home at ALL4.

What was the most memorable Halloween costume you ever wore?

When I was around six years old, I decided I wanted to dress up as a black cat for Halloween. I had on cat ears, a mask with whiskers, and black gloves with “claws” glued on. Apparently, it was a pretty realistic costume, since when I came downstairs with it on, I terrified my poor (real) cat.

Stick shift or automatic?

Automatic only for now. I should learn stick sometime; you never know when it could come in handy.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met?

Can’t say I’ve met too many celebrities or anything like that. I did meet a few of the Pittsburgh Pirates several years ago at a charity fundraising event, though.

Do you have any hidden talents that people you meet would not expect?

People who meet me are not always aware that they’re meeting a Pokémon master.

What would you like to become known for at ALL4?

I’d love to become known as someone who is always down to talk about nerdy things like video games. Hopefully the Zelda computer wallpaper and Pikachu plush in my cubicle send out some signals.

If you were stranded on an island, what are three things you couldn’t live without?

I wouldn’t be able to go on without a pet to cuddle, a sizeable supply of potato chips, and chapstick. What else does a person need, really?

What is the one thing that most attracted you to ALL4?

Aside from ALL4’s dedication to environmental work fitting my interests to a T, I was intrigued by how close-knit the company seemed, even from my first impressions at a career fair.
