Jennifer is a recent transplant to Stony Brook University and the state of New York, having moved here from the Midwest in October of 2006.  She hails from the great state of Iowa, but received her formal education at the University of Kansas in Lawrence (Go Jayhawks!).  In 2001 she completed her Bachelor of Arts in Art History with minors in History and German.  Some of the highlights of her undergraduate experience were her study abroad trip to Germany, serving as a Student Senator, and working in the residence halls as an RA.

She received her Master of Arts, also in Art History, in 2003.  While working on her MA she had the chance to serve as a Graduate Teaching Assistant.  Her teaching experience led her to realize that her true passion is for working with college students.  She decided to pursue a career in higher education administration, working as an Admissions Counselor for her alma mater until coming to SBU.

Jennifer is excited about her current role as the Undergraduate College Advisor for Arts, Culture, and Humanities as it affords her the opportunity to share her love of the academic enterprise with incoming students while utilizing her background in the arts.
