Jen Scott (she/her/hers) is a native Ohioan from Forest Park, Ohio. She attended Northwestern University earning a degree in Chemistry.  After returning to Ohio, she embarked on a successful career in information technology and established her own consulting firm. In 2015, she began another path in life, that of a community organizer and grassroots activist. She became very involved with the atheist and secular movement, driven by a passion for separation of religion and government. She believes strongly that an individual’s right to religious freedom should not infringe on the rights of others. 

Jen joined Equality Ohio in 2019 as the Southwest Ohio Regional Organizer.  She now serves the Director of Advocacy working with the state and local advocacy teams to make real change. Jen previously served as the first Steward for the Equality Ohio Workers United Union.

She has a commitment to cross-movement social justice work. She currently serves as Board Chair for American Atheists, a national civil rights organization and as Vice President for Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati. She previously served on the board of Cincinnati Pride, as Director of Compliance and Parade Chair. Jen was recently recognized for her LGBTQ+ advocacy by the City of Cincinnati and received the Rafiki award in 2024 presented by Cincinnati Black Pride.

In her spare time, she expresses her love of science by running Science on Tap Cincinnati, a science education program.
