Jennifer’s foray into the wider world began early as a young dancer with Broadway touring groups and later, in a wildly different capacity, as a researcher and consultant in the sphere of Gender Equality and Human Rights. She earned a Master’s Degree from the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, U.K., and worked around the globe for various international non-governmental organizations with a particular focus on women in East and Southern Africa. Jennifer’s life abroad enabled her to experience various cultures, landscapes and climates. This opportunity, paired with her love of nature, allowed her to connect with people all across the planet through the shared sense of the importance and healing properties of plants.
