Articles by Jennifer Oksien, Editor, Top Ten Reviews

Jennifer (Jenny) is currently the editor of Top Ten Reviews, but prior to that, she was TechRadar's Homes Editor. Jennifer has previously written about a range of topics, from TV and audio to homewares, plus a range of small and large appliances for some of the UKs leading retailers and magazine titles. She is based in Bath, UK.

A true Home-girl, Jennifer enjoys being in her abode to (try) to make it the best place to live for her and her little family. It’s been in state of renovation for a number of years since moving in so having the latest vacuum cleaner to take for a spin or the latest connected home innovation for a more seamless way of living will always go down as a treat - as will a decent cup-of-tea.

Jennifer has received her Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Southampton Solent University, Master of Science in Marketing Communications from University of the West of England and NCTJ Shorthand, which she desperately tries to remember when taking quick notes.

In her spare time, Jennifer enjoys getting stuck-in the latest Netflix series - or another series from other digital streaming platforms which she’s heard on the grapevine - in the evenings, or digging in the garden during the day-time. Attempting to bake something which is sugar-free (and edible) is a weekly weekend challenge that will be conquered, one day.
