​
​Jennifer is a native San Diegan and mother to two beautiful adult children, Autumn and Juno, who are the light of her life. Working with children, youth, and young adults is her passion! She believes we have all been made in God's image and have an open invitation to receive our Creator's unconditional love and grace. Her goal is to serve as God's hands and feet, finding tangible ways to share this hope-filled message both inside and outside of the church's four walls.

Before focusing on ministering to young people, Jennifer taught in local private schools, owned a bakery, and ran a successful sewing business. She grew up in San Carlos, immersed in music and loves to spend time jamming with her kids, both of whom are talented musicians. Jennifer has been volunteering and working with the children, youth, and families within the UMC since 2004 and is currently serving as the South District Youth Coordinator for the Cal-Pac Conference of the United Methodist Church.
