Jennifer was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She attended Bowling Green State University where she obtained her Bachelors Degree in Hospitality Management. During the course of her studies, Jennifer had the rare opportunity of studying abroad at the University of Hawaii in Manoa for a year. Time spent in Hawaii proved to be one of Jennifer’s richest experiences as she has a love for traveling and gained insight in servicing those who travel.

After Jennifer graduated, she moved to Puerto Rico to begin working as a Manager in Training at the Wyndham El Conquistador in Fajardo. She trained in several various positions, gaining the unique knowledge needed to manage a Five Star Resort. Jennifer soon acted as assistant to the Catering Director and learned the many aspects of planning and coordinating events.

After Jennifer completed the Management Training Program in Fajardo, she moved to the Island of St. Thomas to accept a position as the Banquet Manager at the Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort. This position gave Jennifer further experience on the operations side of catering and events.

Some time later, Jennifer accepted a position as the Banquet Manager at the Wyndham Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida. There, Jennifer became the point of contact for each event and handled the operations also.

With her years of experience, vast knowledge of banquet operations, and love of interacting with people, Jennifer focuses on the uniqueness of each event through event planning. The Florida Yacht Club has been Jennifer’s home since December of 2007 when Jennifer came on board as the Events Director at the Florida Yacht Club.

Jennifer feels privileged to help make such wonderful memories through coordinating every event at the Club. From wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners to anniversary parties and birthday bashes, every event is personal for Club members and their guests!
