Jen joined the Cadmium team as an Event Producer in the Spring of 2010 following time in the Association space at the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Since joining Cadmium, she has moved into many different roles across the Operations side of the organization, including time spent as the Director of Online Events, Implementation Manager, and Operations Manager. In her latest role as Product Manager, she works closely with internal and external stakeholders to enhance the Elevate LMS product to make it more efficient, easy to use, and ensure it has the features our customers and prospects need.

Jen is a graduate of the University of Maryland with a degree in Marketing & Logistics and Supply Chain Management. In her spare time, she enjoys being the quintessential soccer mom to two crazy cuties, Charlotte and Cole. When she is not chasing them around from game to game, she loves running and exercising, competitive UNO games, and watching anything BravoTV.

I have been with Cadmium since 2016, starting my journey as an engineer before growing into my current role as a product manager. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about creating seamless experiences and ensuring the success of events behind the scenes. Originally from the East Coast, I have since made Kansas City my home, where I enjoy the balance of a vibrant city and a close-knit community.

Outside of work, my greatest joy comes from spending time with my husband, our son and daughter, and our lovable dog. Family time is my top priority, whether it’s exploring new places, enjoying a cozy night in, or making memories on new adventures. I also have a deep love for real estate and home renovation, and I find excitement in flipping houses and bringing new life to forgotten spaces.

Another one of my passions is wine—I proudly (and playfully) claim to be a sommelier, always eager to discover and appreciate new flavors. Whether I’m diving into a home project, savoring a glass of wine, or supporting events through my work, I thrive on creativity, connection, and continuous learning.

Rhonda joined Cadmium in 2018 after spending many years working in IT for various employers within the hospital and healthcare industries. As a former Project Manager and currently the Director of Operations for Event Tech, she has a focus on customer service, effective processes and teamwork.

Outside of work, Rhonda is a proud mother of three wonderful daughters and two dogs, currently living in Bel Air, Maryland. She enjoys reading historical fiction and cheering for the Orioles and Ravens. Rhonda and her husband, Craig enjoy traveling and spending free time at their vacation home on the Outer Banks in North Carolina.

Prior to joining Cadmium in the Summer of 2024, Amanda spent 18 years managing events across her home state, North Carolina. From the American Diabetes Association to Biltmore Estate, she has honed a spectrum of event skills, finding her specialty in planning for unique details (did you know cattle should be moved 10 days prior to a hillside event?) and designing creative and bold events and marketing. Amanda received a Bachelor of Science in Communications at Appalachian State University (go Mountaineers!) and currently lives in Apex, NC with her husband and two zany kids (8g & 6b). She loves to practice hand lettering and painting with unusual watercolors, of which she has far too many and continues to purchase...maybe that's the real hobby.
