For Jennifer Stein, director of economic development for the City of Avondale, storytelling has been part of her DNA from a young age. Her knack for building relationships and promoting events prompted her to pursue an education in public relations, which led her to working at Good Morning Arizona for more than five years producing live shots and in-studio segments. From there, an opportunity to work for the City of Glendale in its communications department presented itself, which she pursued.
“I pitched Glendale during when [State Farm Stadium] was opening and all this growth was happening,” Stein explains. “I was able to work closely with the economic development department to help position the City of Glendale, since the entertainment district was the place to be.”
