Jennifer was born in San Antonio, and adopted at just one month old, and then has lived her whole life in the Metro Detroit Area. She grew up in New Baltimore, MI, an only child, passionate student, and athlete. Jen went on to graduate from Oakland University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and Minor in Spanish Language in 2016.
