 Like
the heroine of The Pact, The
Jinx, The Key and The Hunt, Jennifer
Sturman grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, the birthplace
of another fictional character, Ward Cleaver. She also
attended the same school as actress Margaret Hamilton,
the Cleveland native who played the Wicked Witch of the
West in The
Wizard of Oz.
When Ms. Sturman was in the fourth grade Ms. Hamilton
visited her alma mater and told the students how she melted.
While sworn to secrecy, Ms. Sturman does offer the following
hint: trapdoor.
 Ms. Sturman graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in history and literature. She began her business career as a financial analyst in mergers and acquisitions at Goldman, Sachs. Unlike her heroine, Ms. Sturman did not thrive on the all-nighters and number crunching demanded by Wall Street, although she managed to sustain herself by consuming a steady stream of Diet Coke. After two years, she enrolled at Harvard Business School where, with the aid of yet more Diet Coke, she earned her MBA with distinction. She then joined McKinsey & Company as a management consultant, advising clients in media, consumer packaged goods and retail on a broad range of strategic issues. She now works in corporate strategy at Time Warner, but she does not get free cable (although she does enjoy free Diet Coke).
Ms. Sturman resides in Manhattan. She
has no free time, but if she did, she would probably spend
it doing the New York Times crossword puzzle,
watching bad teen movies from the eighties and sipping
drinks that come with little umbrellas in them.
