Fun facts:

• In her spare time, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her friends and family, going on small trips, traveling, and trying out all the new restaurants in Los Angeles.
• Her personal motto is: "You didn't come this far to only come this far." She has been fortunate to grow up in an environment that supports and pushes her to be the best person she can be, which has helped her become the person she is today. She pushes through any obstacle that she faces by working hard, learning through the process, and being optimistic.
• If she could be a superhero, she would want to have the power to teleport. She loves the idea of being able to get from one place to another without having to drive anywhere or be stuck in L.A. traffic.
