She is a Certified Lawyer Coach through the ICF-accredited Volta Coach Training Program and holds a J.D., magna cum laude, from Boston University School of Law and a B.S. from Cornell University.
Outside of her professional life, Jennifer looks for ways to effect change in her community. She was part of the executive leadership team that launched Impact 100 NYC, a volunteer-led women’s organization which unites women across New York City to fund transformative initiatives that help New Yorkers overcome adversity, and served on its Board of Directors for five years before becoming an inaugural member of its Emeritus Board. Jennifer is a proud parent to her cockapoo Baxter and, when they remember to call her, children Noah and Alden.
