Jennifer Rivera

Jennifer Rivera is a proud Lower Merion resident, parent, and community advocate running for the Lower Merion School District Board of Directors. Her roots in the district run deep—her mother graduated from the district, her father served the community for decades, and both she and her husband are raising their children there. She is running to champion every student and believes in an inclusive, equitable education system where all children feel safe, valued, and empowered to thrive.

With over 20 years of experience, Jennifer excels in supporting financial oversight and strategic planning. She has supported Finance, Audit, and Investment Committees, managing a $100M+ budget to ensure efficiency. In addition she has organized audits with Grant Thornton, ensuring compliance, transparency, and fostering meaningful discussions for informed decision-making.

Jennifer volunteers regularly at Cynwyd Elementary, supports the Home and School Association, and mentors students across the district. Through her church’s food pantry, she partners with the BuildOn Service Club at Lower Merion High School to support families in need.
