When asked about her hobbies, Jennifer said:

"I love to paint in bright, bold colors. Acrylic and watercolors on canvas, wood, furniture and anything that might be interesting to paint. Abstracts in a type of pointillism style are my most common, but I also have been attempting landscapes and primitive types of art."

Outside of work, Jennifer is fortunate to have a terrific family - a wonderful husband name Tom and beautiful godchildren/nieces and nephews.   

Jennifer's background is in retail and she has been fortunate to work with GREAT people. With her team, she's focused on personal/professional goals, company objectives and the team.
