We believe leadership is not necessarily a role – it is a set of skills and self-awareness that one can learn, improve, and build upon as they advance in their careers.
We are proud to have a leadership team that has discovered their personal core values, bring their whole selves to work each day, and continue to develop and improve their leadership skills.
We are always available and our doors don’t shut.
We Are Metronome

Favorite Song: “Southern Style” by Darius Rucker
Our CEO, Co-Founder, and fearless leader, Jen, sees Metronome as a big family and cares for it as such.

Her skills in attention to detail, organization, critical thinking, and delegation balance out our inimitable executive leadership team.
Jen has a gentle and nurturing soul. Before forming Metronome with her husband, Virgil, she was a registered nurse with a passion for fixing any issues she encountered. She loves to cook and dreams of returning to school to learn about the culinary arts.
Above all else, Jen values her family. Her ideal day would be simple – she’d spend time with her husband and three children, cook a nice meal, and read a good book. Her ultimate goal in life is to see her children grow into good, compassionate people and eventually have children of their own.
