Her TV appearances include The Spin Crowd, produced by Kim Kardashian, and Trophy Wives on TLC, which showcased her life as a fashion designer in Beverly Hills.
Jennifer is a proud mother of two boys and a dedicated entrepreneur. In 2017, she co-founded WowMoms World, a family-focused franchise with locations across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. This year, she launched two new ventures: ALGND, an athleisure brand she created with her wife, Danielle, and Original Self, a company that provides solutions for women who have undergone explant surgery, mastectomies, those with naturally smaller busts, and women seeking to regain volume post-childbirth.
Jennifer is now adding “author” to her resume, with her first book set for release in the first quarter of next year.
