More About Jennifer

Jennifer became involved with MDFF after attending the 2025 Gala.  Hearing the stories of the individuals and families supported and seeing the impact of MDFF’s work really resonated with her.  She wanted to be a part of the mission and helping make a difference in the lives of the individuals with muscular dystrophy.

Jennifer enjoys spending her free time with her two children, family, and friends, traveling, being outdoors, watching sports and making memories together.

Something unique about Jennifer: She has an Aviation Administration degree, but her career led her into commercial banking.  She has spent her career building relationships and helping others succeed.

I’m inspired by people who face challenges with courage, positivity, and perseverance.  Their strength reminds me how important it is to support one another and how it can make a difference in our communities.
