Raised in upstate New York with the Adirondack Park as her back yard, Jennifer developed a great affinity for nature and protecting the environment.  Jennifer and her family moved from Syracuse, New York, to Pocatello in 2006. She and her husband raised their daughter and son here, enjoying the many wonderful outdoor opportunities available. Jennifer enjoys outdoor activities including hiking, skiing, fishing, camping, water sports and gardening.  Jennifer has a bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and a master’s degree in Stream Ecology form Idaho State University.  For the past 8 years she has worked for the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality as a water quality analyst.  This position allows Jennifer to contribute to and collaborate with many entities to improve the important habitats and ecosystems here in Southeast Idaho.

Being part of the board presented an appropriate venue for her to pursue conservation efforts in Southeast Idaho and she looks forwards to giving back to the area that has been a great source of enjoyment for her family. Jennifer has been a board member of the land trust since 2015.
