Making a Difference: CK Jensen Communications

Cherryl Jensen is a versatile writer. She writes for magazines and newspapers on topics such as education, health, business, religion, personal growth and issues related to diversity and inclusiveness. She brings a knowledge and an appreciation of good literature as well as clarity, accuracy and grammatical correctness to her writing.
Cherryl's writing specialty is people profiles. She believes that everyone has a story, the seemingly ordinary person as well as the obviously extraordinary. One interviewee said: "Rarely do I read a story that tries to uncover the second layer of what makes a person tick. You were sensitive and accurate all within the same paragraphs."


	"Making a Difference" is a weekly feature in The Keene Sentinel which seeks to raise public awareness of the role of nonprofits in the Monadnock Region. Cherryl wrote the initial articles when the series was started in 2004 by Giving Monadnock, an organization that promotes organizational effectiveness and the fund-raising capabilities of local nonprofits.
