Jenn MacIsaac  -  Monday - Friday from 3pm to 7p

Jenn (Jennifer) MacIsaac grew up on a farm about 10 miles south of Punxsutawney, near the little burg of Marchand.  She attended Punxsutawney Junior and Senior High Schools until the end of tenth grade, at which time she moved to Pittsburgh.  

Jenn attended IUP in Indiana, PA, graduating with a B.A. in journalism.  Her first job in the media was working as a sales representative for a start-up radio station, WCCS-AM, located at that time in Homer City.  From there, Jenn went to WJAC-TV in Johnstown and WHTM-TV in Harrisburg as a news producer.  Later, she accepted a position as Assistant to the Dean for Media and Public Relations in the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State, where she worked for 12 years.  In addition to her full-time position at Penn State, Jenn worked part-time as a disk jockey for the alternative rock station WQWK-FM and later for the classic rock station WBUS-FM, both in State College.  She also worked as a morning host on the news-talk radio station WBLF-AM, and mid-day host on the adult contemporary station Lite 99-FM, both in State College.

In 2010, Jenn returned to her family’s farm near Marchand, where her father and step-mother, Don and Joyce MacIsaac, also reside.  She had two older brothers, Jeff King and Tim (MacIsaac) King, both whom passed away in the spring of 2011.  She has a younger brother, Bruce MacIsaac, who also resides at the family property with his wife Beth. The farm has been in the MacIsaac family since it was established in 1864.  

Jenn has a grown son, Justin, who graduated from Penn State with a degree in Environmental Engineering.  She enjoys photography, plunking away at her electric guitar (she describes herself as a total “noob” on guitar), riding her motorcycle when the weather is warm, and she is a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan.  She has traveled extensively throughout the United State and Europe, and lived on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a year, but says she is glad to be back at her family’s homestead in Western Pennsylvania.
