MEMBER

MEMBER

Jennifer hails from San Diego, California and is currently an active Guardian ad Litem volunteer for Berkeley County. She has spent the better part of a decade quietly showing up for her community — lending her design and marketing skills wherever they might make a difference.

As a creative director by trade, Jennifer has volunteered her talents to organizations doing meaningful work — helping build the MendTN online curriculum with YWCA Nashville's AMENDTogether initiative, developing the website for the Nashville Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and supporting OneGenAway's fundraising efforts to bring healthy food to families facing barriers in Middle Tennessee.

Away from the screen, Jennifer spent several years as a Performing Arts Instructor — with Nashville Ballet's community division and at Studio M — working with children ages 5 to 15. She found that the arts had a unique way of reaching kids, and grateful to be part of that.

In October 2024, Jennifer began volunteering as a Guardian ad Litem in Berkeley County, South Carolina, advocating for children navigating the court system. In March 2025, she joined the Guardian ad Litem Foundation Board of Directors, hopeful that she can contribute in some small way to expanding that support for more children and families.

Jennifer's path from dance studio floors to courtrooms to boardrooms tells a simple story: she shows up fully, and she shows up for others.
