With the support of the organization she has developed new series, created avenues to support local artists, connected international artists with community, expanded visual and media arts galleries and exhibitions, and fostered a robust education portfolio including an on-site school and a National Geographic education program that serves over 10,500 students annually. 

Jennifer is currently focused on the growth and development of programs that have a positive social impact on the community. A civic champion, Jennifer has a deep love for her city and a genuine desire to foster a creative and compassionate community through the arts. Jennifer’s personal mission is to contribute to the quality and enjoyment of life for all, the best way she knows how - through the arts.
