Jennifer's first experience stepping outside her comfort zone occurred at the age of 18 when she headed to Syracuse University in New York for college. After graduation, she lived in various cities, including Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and Orange County.
Throughout the majority of her career, Jennifer climbed the Fortune 500 marketing ladder, working for global companies like: McDonald's Corporation and General Mills. Today, she is an entrepreneur and the owner of Primrose Park, a retail store named after her favorite neighborhood in London - Primrose Hill and Regent's Park.
