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 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.
