Jennifer's family consists of generations of Touro babies including her and her parents. Her great-great grandfather even helped shape Touro in its early days into what it has become today.
New Orleans is a tight-knit community. Most people that were born here, love it here and don't leave here, or if they do, they always come back. When we asked Jennifer about her connection to New Orleans she said "I am proud to have been born in a city that had the first Opera House, the first school for girls, a rich tradition in the arts- particularly music and culinary arts- and where being bored is your own fault. New Orleans was the second largest entry point for immigrants to the US for many years and it has left us an ineffable sense of who we are. You can go almost anywhere and people recognize NOLA.".
