Born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Jennifer landed in Los Angeles
shortly after graduating from Emerson College with a B.A. in Mass
Communications and Film. She has since become an inspiration to tens of
thousands of children and their families, and set a new precedent for
social responsibility within the entertainment community.
An accidental philanthropist, Jennifer had a movie career in mind
before fate dealt her a different hand. Jennifer began volunteering at the Children's Hospital in
Los Angeles with a group of friends, most of whom were artists. In the fall of 1997, the Art of Elysium was born. What began as a group
of friends with a mission to make sure no child goes through treatment
alone, became a new way of looking at art and its capacity for social
change.
