Jennifer also has a deep-seated commitment to providing legal services to underprivileged communities and has volunteered for El Centro Hispano in Durham.
Jennifer hails from the Bronx of New York City where she was raised by her maternal grandmother, a Cuban immigrant and seamstress working in the Garment District. An honors student and scholarship recipient, Jennifer was the first in her family to graduate from college and law school.

Upon graduation from law school and completion of the bar entrance exam, Jennifer immediately began practicing in the areas of workers’ compensation and personal injury law.
