Experience
Jennifer got her start in the writing industry by working as a content writer for a major kitchen and restaurant supply company, where she then advanced her way to an editor position. While working there for four years, she also wrote several blog posts and long-form pieces that allowed her to write creatively about her passion for food. Jennifer first joined Static Media in 2022 and put her English degree and love for research, creative writing, and food to good use as a news writer for Mashed. She left Static Media briefly before returning again in late 2023 as a feature writer for Daily Meal. Food has always been an important part of Jennifer's life, cooking authentic Hungarian dishes with her mom in the kitchen from a young age.
Education
Jennifer earned her associate degree in liberal arts from Walters State Community College.

She also attended real estate school and got her Tennessee real estate license in early 2023.
