Professional Experience
Prior to working and studying as an artist, Jennifer was a political fundraiser and grassroots organizer, including on President Obama’s 2008 campaign. Jennifer also worked in business development and partnerships at a media start-up and for years prior in finance and marketing. A misguided stint in object-oriented coding brought her to the study of art.
