Biography

As a child, Jenifer Bowman was called “bright but talkative,” which obviously lead to her studying Corporate Communication at Olivet Nazarene University. From there, she earned her Master's in Communication at Illinois State University, and she currently serves ISU as an instructor in courses such as Communication Theory, Interviewing, Interpersonal Communication and Nonverbal Communication. Jenifer brings an ongoing passion for theory and helping others discover and hone their interpersonal skills.
