Beyond the Office
During the spring and summer months Jennifer can be found at the local baseball diamond cheering on her son. Come winter she transforms into a proud hockey mom. She and her family also follow the Toronto Blue Jays….literally. Every year she and her family travel to a different city to catch a ball game.
