Jake Hendrickson

Web Content Creator

Digital Specialist Jake Hendrickson earned his bachelor’s degree in English from Ohio University.  On campus, he worked as a tutor in the Student Writing Center. He said he’s always been drawn to the marketing field because of the creative opportunities it provides. 

“I like thinking outside the box and coming up with the best way to communicate something or grab someone’s attention,” he said. “It feels like a puzzle!”

Post-graduation, Hendrickson spent 6 years writing professionally, 3 as a product copywriter and 3 as an editorial copywriter.

His attention to detail makes him ideal for his position in the Marketing department, where even the smallest piece of content can make a big difference. 

“I feel like there are a lot of small things that could be easy to miss in this role,” he said, “but I like taking a close look and double checking my work to make sure nothing is overlooked.”

Away from the office, Hendrickson is an outdoor enthusiast drawn to kayaking and hiking adventures — when the weather cooperates. He's an avid music listener too, favoring indie and alt rock genres. 

“I’m also running out of space on my bookshelf and usually have a stack of books on the coffee table,” he said. “I tell myself I’ll finish them all eventually, but I end up adding more to the pile.”

At home, Hendrickson shares space with his tuxedo cat, Napoleon, and an orange tabby, Jonesy.
