Jennifer’s career path led her to two major cities before planting her roots at the Jersey Shore. This, in conjunction with professional mentorship, community involvement, and life experience attributes to her success in the marketing industry.

It's just a signpost, right? It's just a guide to tell you, where you may need to take charge and make changes in your life."
