Host, Morning EditionJennifer feels very lucky to have been born and raised in Austin, Texas. An English teacher at her high school once suggested to the class that they tune in to KUT 90.5 for Paul Ray’s “Twine Time.” She has been a public radio fan ever since.
Her original career path – Psychology – took a back seat to radio after she started volunteering at the Williams College student radio station during her time there.
Jennifer has worked for commercial and public radio stations in news, production, music, and sales in Austin; Syracuse, New York; and Western Massachusetts. She has a Master’s Degree from Syracuse University in Radio-Television-Film. Jennifer has won awards from the Syracuse Press Club, Texas Associated Press Broadcasters and Women Communicators of Austin.
Jennifer has been the local anchor and host of “Morning Edition” on KUT since May, 2004.
Jennifer serves on the Advisory Committee for KTSW 89.9 at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. She is also a member, mentor and Board member of Women Communicators of Austin.
