She has competed in both national and international invitationals, including the British National Championships. 

Jennifer was a competitive gymnast at Capital Gymnastics in Burke, VA for 9 years until she was 13. While at Oakton, she was a multi-sport athlete, captaining cheerleading, gymnastics, and track and field teams while earning a total of 16 varsity letters. Jennifer earned multiple accolades including All American status in cheerleading, and All District and All Region awards in track.  She led her team to back to back track and field district titles in 2010 and 2011 while setting new school records in pole vault. As a senior, Jennifer was Oakton's Female Athlete of the Year and a Donna De Verona nominee. She is looking forward to being back at Oakton to help coach track and field.
