Jennifer Ernst Beaudry

Jennifer Ernst Beaudry was the former Managing Editor of Home at Reviewed, where she oversaw home, garden, laundry, and gift guides. In more than 20 years of covering the consumer market, her work has appeared in USA Today, Footwear Insight, Footwear News, Complex and Solecollector, and more.

She started her career covering shoes, a decision that took her to places she expected (factories, stores, New York Fashion Week, a tannery) and places she didn't (a yurt, curling on Olympic ice, boat cruises, and the NYSE). She's tested products, interviewed shoppers, moderated panels, grilled CEOs, and cornered celebrities at parties. She has strong opinions about what makes a good product, what makes a good gift, and when you should pay full price. (The answer to the last one is rarely).

Jennifer holds a B.A. from Georgetown University and an M.A. from New York University. She lives outside Chicago with her kids, husband, and an unruly hound. Read more about her on her website.
