About Jennifer

Jennifer is a Florida native and a graduate of USF. 3 years ago she gave up an executive career in the medical field to chase after a job more conducive to being the best mother she could be for her, now, 5 year old daughter, Merritt. She pursued a career in real estate with a boutique brokerage in Pinellas County called Realty Experts. Her ambitious nature and love for real estate, coupled with her deep roots in the community have propelled her to success she previously only dreamed of. For her, the most valuable part of success is the ability to fulfill her philanthropic side through various avenues. Previously working with Give Kids The World while employed with Disney, her desire to give back, and help those in need, was ignited. Her interest in Deaf-Studies expanded her horizons, allowing her to be a volunteer interpreter for holiday performances at her church. Joining the Gasparilla Krewe of Queen Anne’s Revenge [KQAR] has been her most recent piece of the puzzle, and what a perfect fit. Each year, The Krewe chooses a foundation, they feel most passionate about, to sponsor through donations and volunteer work. She is excited to work the the Westchase Charitable Foundation to be part of a cause that is so focused on helping our local community in a pure, and effective, way.
