As executive director of Bay Arts Alliance, she led the organization in the management and programming of a 2,500-seat performing arts center as well as a visual arts facility with multiple exhibit and educational spaces.

Jennifer participated in the creation and continuation of several arts, culture, and entertainment events, including music festivals, concert, speaker & film series, nationally touring theatricals and provided logistical support for several music, motor and sports festivals.

As a lifelong singer, she has taken opportunities to perform in her home churches, several FSU ensembles, The Houston Symphony Chorus, Birdland in New York and has been honored to perform the National Anthem at the North Florida Magistrate’s Naturalization Ceremonies since 2017.

Jennifer serves on the boards of her local community theatre, county chamber of commerce and volunteers with other local non-profits. She’s within reach of her Master Gardener certification and performs with a ukulele band.

     She is a graduate of Florida State University’s School of Music and alumni of the Disney Institute and Universität Lüneburg, Goethe Institute Arts Management and Leadership Programs, and the very proud mother of Maggie Jones, Disney-cast member.
