A Northern California native, Jennifer moved to Wyoming and then to New York for her television career.  She was most recently the weekday evening meteorologist at the NBC station in Buffalo, New York. 

Jennifer has earned the highest weather seal you can get as a meteorologist in television, the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) Weather Seal, given by the American Meteorological Society.

Jennifer earned a second degree, a calculus based Meteorology Degree, from SUNY College at Brockport, New York.  She graduated among the top of her class, and in the Honor's Program.

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, Jennifer first started broadcasting for her high school, and then for her college in San Francisco while working at the local NBC station in SF. She graduated in three years and was chosen to make the commencement speech.

Jennifer then moved east and worked at the NBC station in Casper, Wyoming. Jennifer covered news and weather for the state, which included strong deadly tornadoes, severe cold weather outbreaks, large forest fires, snow storms, and damaging wind events. Jennifer also went to cover a shuttle launch at the Kennedy Space Center, FL.

Jennifer was then selected to work in the highly competitive severe weather market of Buffalo, NY, which has very impactful micro-climates. During her time there, working for ABC and then NBC, she covered many severe weather events from the studio anchoring and out in the field live reporting. These include the significant January 2024 lake effect snow storms, the July 2024 New York State record breaking tornado outbreak when she weather anchored for many hours during extended weather coverage, the historic downtown City of Buffalo tornado, major lake effect snow events including the November "Snowvembers", and the double blizzard of 2014.

Jennifer has received several awards and honors for weather coverage, including New York Emmy Awards.

Jennifer has written an award winning educational weather book for children, Willy and Lilly’s Adventures with Weather, which she brings to many of her school weather visits.

Jennifer is married, has 3 children, 2 puppies, and enjoys going on family adventures exploring together especially in their camper and out in nature!
