Jennifer was born on January 23, 1977 in Concord, California into a military family and so began her travels. But if pressed to choose a home she would adopt central Pennsylvania where she completed her high school and undergraduate educations. In 1999 Jennifer graduated from the Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. degree in Life Science, filling the next several years with work in the biotech industry in Madison, Wisconsin. In 2003 Jennifer relocated to Georgia where she received her MFA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art & Design (2006). Her current drawings and mixed-media works are emblematic of her interests in repetition, frequency and odd bodies. Jennifer currently works as an adjunct professor in the printmaking department at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Jennifer received two artist grants to attend the residency program at the Vermont Studio Center in January 2006 and December 2007. She is a recipient of the Combined Merit Fellowship (2003) and the Nancy N. Lewis Endowed Scholarship (2005) awarded by the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her artwork is held in private collections in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Wisconsin in addition to the permanent collection of the Savannah College of Art and Design.
