Jennifer Zientz’s work focuses on the translation of Center for BrainHealth research to improve how people think, work and live. She administers performance-based assessments and facilitates training workshops that empower individuals across the lifespan to take the lead in strengthening their focus, mental efficiency, reasoning and possibility thinking.
Over the past 20+ years, she has played an instrumental role in researching, developing and testing BrainHealth’s proprietary, science-backed brain health assessments and protocols to produce measurable improvements in brain fitness. The assessments form a holistic composite called the BrainHealth® Index that is taken periodically to track change. The protocols, called Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Tactics (SMART™), are delivered as high-performance brain training. Both have been delivered to military leadership, active duty special operators, veterans and their spouses, law enforcement officers, corporate executives and leadership teams, community leaders, athletes and graduate students.
Jennifer leads teams of clinicians that administer and facilitate the BrainHealth Index and SMART. She is also responsible for development and oversight of training certification programs within the Center for BrainHealth.
Jennifer received her BS in Communication Sciences and Disorders from The University of Texas at Austin and her MS in Speech-Language Pathology from The University of Texas at Dallas.
