	Jennifer was born in Brooklyn, NY where she founded the WordParty hosting poetry, music and performance art in her living room while attending art school. Due to an overwhelming number of creative friends and a few knocks on the door by the local police, she eventually had to branch out to local venues in the East Village. Click on roots for the whole story. She now resides in San Francisco as the co-host of WordParty Tuesdays Poetry and Jazz Open Mic where you can find her reading with Daniel Heffez and the Nova Jazz Quartet and ushering in local poets to get up on the mic and say something, with her co-host and friend Ingrid Keir.
