If you’ve ever doubted your abilities, or felt like reaching her level of success seems impossible, Jennifer is here with her story to boldly declare that it’s possible. She knows. Because she did it.

And the same plays into her personal life – from having kids on her own to launching The Justice Dept.

She then worked as the president of corporate development at Superfly, a live experience company, and helped it grow revenue and raise more capital.
