About TuckerTalk

L-photo_tucker

My name is Jennifer Tucker, and my passion is helping people and organizations come together to collaborate on complex science and technology challenges and opportunities.  I currently serve as Associate Deputy Administrator with the USDA National Organic Program.  Prior to that, I spent 13 years as an organization development consultant, where my work focused on organization assessments, strategic planning, work group facilitation, communications, and leadership development.

In 2008, I authored Introduction to Type and Project Management, part of CPP’s popular Introduction to Type Series; I’m also the coauthor of Reversing Forward.  I hold a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies from Virginia Tech (my research was on the motivational factors involved in scientific data sharing), an M.S. in Management from Purdue University, and a B.A. in Environmental Sciences from Wesleyan University.
