Speaking That Makes People Feel Something
Whether I’m speaking to healthcare professionals, corporate leaders, patient advocates, women’s organizations, conferences, or universities, my goal is always the same:
To tell stories that educate, inspire, and remind people of the incredible impact they have on one another.
I don’t believe audiences remember PowerPoint slides.
They remember stories.
Stories that make them laugh.
Stories that make them think.
Stories that stay with them long after the event ends.
As an award-winning journalist, moderator, former stand-up comedian, and patient advocate, I bring together research, lived experience, and humor to create presentations that feel less like lectures and more like conversations.
Why Jennifer?
For more than twenty-five years, I’ve built a career around one thing:
Helping people connect through stories.
I’ve interviewed everyone from Academy Award winners and CEOs to physicians, patients, researchers, and advocates. I’ve moderated national conferences, spoken on stages across the country, covered major cultural events, and spent years translating complicated topics into conversations people actually want to have.
But my greatest education didn’t come from a newsroom.
It came from infertility treatments.
Motherhood.
Navigating healthcare.
Raising an autistic son.
Learning how humor can carry us through life’s hardest moments.
Those experiences don’t replace expertise.
They deepen it.
Whether your audience is healthcare professionals, business leaders, patients, or caregivers, I create presentations that inform, inspire, and equip people to think differently.

Feedback & Reviews
Below are testimonials from a handful of past and present clients, customers and colleagues who have been kind enough to share their experiences working with WWW LLC and/or Jennifer “Jay” Palumbo.
"Jennifer was on a panel at our end-of-year company retreat and was a fabulous speaker. She was honest, engaging, and entertaining, and our staff appreciated her insight. She is a rare combination of someone who tells it like it is, but also finds a way to generate laughs with her wit (in addition to her wisdom)."
Frank Wolff
EVP of PR at Uproar
"Working with Jenn is always a pleasure and a great experience. I have worked with her in the publicist/journalist relationship, and she also participated in an educational panel for my agency. On the panel, she was funny and relatable, gave actionable advice to up-and-coming publicists, and kept the audience engaged at all times. Her insights were valuable and showed that she truly cared about building great partnerships. As a journalist interacting with publicists, what I truly appreciate most is that she puts a lot of thought into any pitch before she accepts or passes. She already knows where she wants the story to go when she says yes, and is open to true collaboration to put the best story forward to readers. Jenn is one of my most valued connections!"
Tara Evans
Account Manager at Uproar
"Jennifer was MC at a Baby Quest event. She was engaging, charming, and prepared. Knowing how comfortable she is talking about fertility issues, Jennifer was the perfect combination of humor and information. I would have no hesitation working with Jennifer again and hope to do so."
