Jennifer’s boundless energy is inspired by her two daughters. Even with her position as a principal in Clark Nuber’s busy tax practice, and multiple family responsibilities, she finds time to support them in soccer, singing lessons, and girl scouts.
Jennifer has never met a rollercoaster she didn’t like. Maybe that’s why she is fearless in the face of the tax planning challenges that confront her clients. She sees her role as that of a proactive advisor, helping clients uncover opportunities to save money and improve their businesses. It’s all part of her philosophy of “saving the world, one tax return at a time.”
