Jennifer began her career at SEI Investments in Philadelphia, working in the Office of the Chairman and the Retirement Services Group on employee communication projects. She left SEI—and Philadelphia—to join Towers Perrin’s communications practice in San Francisco. There she developed multimedia campaigns that educated employees on health and welfare and retirement benefits, total compensation, and other human resources programs. Jennifer subsequently joined Merrill Lynch’s Retirement Education and Communications team, where she was responsible for helping clients educate their employees on the basics of saving and investing for retirement.

An honors graduate of the University of Richmond, Jennifer holds a B.A. in English and Women's Studies. She is passionate about serial commas, The Who, Sonoma zinfandels, rainforest conservation, and English damasks.
