About Jennifer Herman
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. They work with local promotors, managers and independent musicians from all over the city (and beyond) to help spread the sounds of all the awesome local talent that the city of brotherly love encompasses. 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!
