Jennie LaMothe

Jennie dedicated 17 years to working in higher education, with 13 of those years spent at Northern Kentucky University, where she was involved in both Academic and Student Affairs. In 2018, Jennie joined NaviGo as the Director of Coaching and Operations. In her role, she oversees the NaviGo Scholars program and is recognized as the regional expert on YouScience, an aptitude assessment tool utilized by most school districts in Northern Kentucky.

In addition to her work with NaviGo Scholars, Jennie plays a key role in developing and facilitating summer camps, as well as managing operations for various services and the website. She also coaches the Learning Grove Scholars Group alongside Dr. Kathy Burkhardt.

Jennie earned her undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology from Georgetown College and holds a Master’s degree in secondary education from Xavier University. A former football and cheer mom, she is now a proud parent of two young adults in college—Noah at the University of Cincinnati and Kate at the University of Louisville. Jennie resides in Fort Thomas, Kentucky, with her husband, Robert, and their two dogs, Fritz and Greta.

Having struggled during her first few years at the University of Kentucky in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Jennie experienced a turning point that allowed her to enjoy her final three years at Georgetown College. These personal experiences, along with her work with college students, fuel her passion for helping students navigate their paths after high school. Jennie firmly believes that each student’s journey is unique and should be shaped by their individual passions and talents. She is committed to helping high school students discover these passions, gain valuable experiences, and explore opportunities before graduation.
