A communication person by love and by training, Jennifer has been a passionate cheerleader for the West Michigan community for nearly 20 years.

Her vast professional achievements include highlighting BIPOC businesses and organizations, fundraising for numerous non-profit organizations through various events and more.

Jennifer says, “No one begins or maintains a strong relationship without communication. So, if I have some communication skills that can bring people together and form potentially life-enhancing bonds, it almost becomes my obligation to share them in this way. It's an especially awesome privilege whenever I can connect an underrepresented community member with others who can help them grow.”

Living in West Michigan, we have an abundance of places to go to soak up the great outdoors. In every season, travelers head to their favorite hot spots in the lakeshore quadfecta of Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland and Saugatuck—or stick around Grand Rapids for all it has to offer. While we never tire of spotlighting the standbys, what else is there? Let's take a tour!
