Stuff I Like...
Music is one of the few things that can break me out of a funk and get me in a good mood - it has such a power to inspire.
I grew up loving music - particularly R&B and Hip Hop. During freshman year at college I finally broke out of my shell and started singing (in front of people - not just in the shower *lol*) I got involved in the UWM Gospel Choir, leading worship at church, teaching kids to sing - and any other way I could think of to develop and hone my skills.

A few favorite 'classic' songs (Stuff that will be on my ipod forever):
People In Search of a Life - Marc Dorsey
Boy at the Window - Groove Theory (Amel Larrieux)
I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer - Stevie Wonder
Golden - Jill Scott
Music
Take a minute to visit my fam on myspace - 7th Platoon Entertainment. I'm a vocalist with 7P and I'm slowly but surely writing new songs. Get more bio info and downloads at www.7thPlatoon.com
Ministry
Also check out Everlasting Mercy Fellowship for some live recordings of Hip-Hop style worship on the downloads page. I'm proud to serve as the First Lady at EMF, as well as worship leader. It's exciting to see how things have grown since we started EMF back in 2002. It's an amazing ministry and I have never met a group of more caring and open people - there really is nothing like it.
Web Design
Had to take a break from web design due to computer issues. (Virus killed my computer, etc... Argh.) Some of the sites I've created are in my portfolio.
'Work'
Oh yeah, one other hat I wear... Senior Marketing Coordinator at Interior Systems, Inc. They create some awesome interiors for schools (picture a cafeteria that looks more like a Starbucks), McDonalds and retail stores.
Parent?!?!
Okay, one new thing to add to the list... Parent! Rob and I have finished the licensing process to become foster parents. Imagine me molding young minds *evil laugh* buh haa haaa haaaa.
That's about it - for now :)

A Milwaukee, Wisconsin native, Jennifer developed a love and appreciation for music, specifically Hip-Hop and R&B, at a young age. Even in grade school, she was drawn to the grittiness presented by Hip-Hop. This interest got her in trouble at times - most memorably when... Click to read more

javi told me that he talked to them once before I guess. I think we should call the city on them but I dont know if that will help either.! It bad enough that me and Javi both stepped on the same nail a couple weeks ago from a board that they threw away.! I mean I dont know what else to do.. what do you think?!
Aven Romale: 'Come On Gipsies' - that's the name of our song at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, which takes place in Moscow. Come on board! Come on Gipsies!
