CHAIR

Jennifer was born in Utah but grew up in Southern California, returning for a brief stint in high school, and again in 2017 with the start of graduate school at the University of Utah. She has lived in Glendale since 2019 and has always felt at home here. As someone passionate about involvement with the local community, following the trajectory of academia in the sciences has been a struggle for her, as students are expected to make long-distance moves every few years while in training. As such, she is now staying firmly planted in the Glendale neighborhood to pursue activities that will make positive differences in the quality of life of ALL residents. Finally being able to maintain a vegetable garden for a full season is an extra bonus!
