Jennifer is the Content Manager for SeniorResource.com, a freelance writer, and an educator for the Encore Learning program at her local community college, where she teaches classes designed for senior adults. Beyond her professional roles, Jennifer shares her home with her husband, four children, and two dogs, Eleanor Rigby and Penny Lane. During her leisure time, she enjoys reading, camping, and macrame. She also has a passion for plants and gardening. Jennifer speaks fluent movie quotes and song lyrics, because why say it in plain words when you can quote The Beatles instead?
