2024 Distinguished Alumni Award Honoree
Jennifer graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in journalism. During her time at the University, she played singles and doubles tennis for the women’s team and was co-captain in her senior year. In 2011, she utilized her love for the game to help launch a nonprofit focused on bringing tennis to children living in disadvantaged communities across our region.
In 2013, Jennifer joined the American Heart Association as an administrative professional and in January 2023, she became senior executive director for the greater Philadelphia region.
Her proudest achievements with the American Heart Association include legislation in Pennsylvania requiring all high school students to be trained in hands-only CPR prior to graduation, the sweetened beverage tax in Philadelphia aimed at reducing sugary drinks consumption and funding critical community programs, and the placement of four CPR training kiosks in Philadelphia that have trained more than 25,000 people in hands-only CPR to date.
