Jennifer moved to Philadelphia in the spring of 2008 for a job, with no real plans of planting any roots.
However, here she is almost 4 years later and madly in love with the City of Philadelphia. An avid music fan since she can remember, her business partner and her started a music marketing firm in the summer of 2010.

Music, technology, media and design are pretty much what makes her (and her company!) tick. She's so glad to be a part of MyPhillyAlive.com, helping spread the musical love that this awesome city has to offer!
