While assigned to the Raider Brigade, she displayed amazing leadership while leading a cross-functional section that consisted of logistical, signal and medical personnel. She was able to successfully manage and navigate an Army directive, which completely transformed the Brigade's Logistics Information Systems by converting from SARSS, a legacy system to GCSS-Army, which was no small undertaking. Her steadfast conviction and technical expertise led to a successful conversion that positively affected the brigade’s ability to deploy anywhere, anytime, and under any condition. Jennifer also planned and led the brigade's first STAMIS Gunnery, which ensured that every STAMIS in the BDE was 100% functional and maintained connectivity to ensure the brigade was able to execute uninterrupted sustainment operations.

She comes from a family with a steep tradition of military service and is a 4rd generation to serve in the Armed Forces. In fact, her son is currently serving as the 5th generation and carrying on the proud tradition for her family. Jennifer was extremely strong willed and aggressively attacked all of her tasks with a smile. It was an honor to work with Jennifer. She was the type of person that made you want to be a better leader, Soldier, and person. She greatly influenced the section and left a lasting impression on the Brigade, her efforts and contributions have made 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team better.
