A native of the SF bay area peninsula, Jennifer developed her passion for horses at age six when she started riding lessons, which led to Summer camps, owning horses, and enjoying those horses both in the show ring and on the trail. Continuing on that journey, she attained a BA from University of Pennsylvania, a BS in Equine Science from Rocky Mountain College, a Post-Graduate Certificate in Equine Science and a Master's Diploma in Clinical Animal Behavior from the Royal (Dick) Vet School in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is now pursuing a certificate in Humane Education and will complete a certificate in Applied Compassion in 2021 from Stanford's CCARE center.

She has been an equine professional for over 25 years, trained under multiple World Champion trainers, managed her own training business, and built her own training facility. 

She currently teaches Equine/Animal Science courses online and in small groups, teaches Animal Welfare, Learning, and Behavior at DTech High School, teaches riding lessons, leads the 4-H equine project, and coaches the Stanford University Western (IHSA) team.
