She holds a B.A. in English from Holy Names College in Oakland, an M.A. in Educational Administration from California State University, Sacramento, and is listed in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers, 1998 edition.

A published writer since the age of ten, she is the co-author, along with Rosemary Dean, of The Angels Speak: Secrets from the Other Side and gives workshops on writing for the metaphysical market. She has stories in the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series: Writers Soul, Teenage Soul Letters, Sisters Soul 2, Women Golfers Soul, and Christmas Collection (to be published in November 2007).

Jennifer has also been a television host/producer in the Sacramento area of educational programs on Channel 10 and the Sacramento Educational Cable Consortium’s Channels 71 and 72. She has hosted a national TV program on the Travel Network called Tahoe Weekly Magazine and has acted in many local commercials as well.

For many years she has had an abiding interest in Huna — an ancient healing tradition of the kahuna or shaman of Hawaii — which has culminated in her latest novel, The Huna Warrior: The Magic Begins, which made its debut in June 2006. This book won a Bronze Medal at the Independent Publishers of America book awards in June 2007. Jennifer lives in Sun City, Roseville, with her husband, Bud Gardner, and is currently writing screenplays.
