Originally from New York City, Jennifer has been living in the Washington, DC area since 1991. She has held a variety of jobs in the environmental field, including working as a contractor for the Environmental Protection Agency and as a researcher for the American Forest and Paper Association, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Wilderness Society. Jennifer has enjoyed volunteering at her children’s schools.
