• Jennifer received some athletic and academic scholarship while enrolled at the University of Mary in undergraduate school, but no financial assistance while competing in cross country while in graduate school. Therefore, throughout much of her athlete and academic career she also worked part time (10-30hours per week) between work study in the University of Mary Library and waitressing nights and weekends to make financial ends meets.
