Jennifer is a graduate of Marion High School and Ball State University. She then moved to Florida to study interior
design which led to a 12 year career in her own interior design and decorating business. She practiced design in the
U.S. as well as London, England and Melbourne, Australia. While in Melbourne she opened a successful imported hand-blown
glassware boutique, Soda Ash & Limestone, in addition to her design business.
