Many things have changed over the course of those years, but one thing that hasn’t is Jennifer’s dedication to her craft.

She joined after high school and served for five years. Jennifer was honorably discharged and is very proud that she was able to serve the country.
2. She Competed On The Price Is Right
The Price is Right remains one of the most well-known game shows on TV. If you’ve ever been home sick, there’s a good chance you’ve probably caught a few episodes.

3. She Loves Working With Charities
Jennifer has always been passionate about helping others. She especially enjoys working with members of the military and fellow veterans. According to her website, “Volunteering is near and dear to my heart. Working in television and film has allowed me the flexibility to spend a lot of time with some of my favorite causes. Here are two: teaching at the Grace Day School and Orphanage in Mukono, Uganda and being an ambassador for the Congressionally-recognized, award winning non-profit, Pin-Ups for Vets.”
4. She’s A Private Investigator
Jennifer isn’t just an actress, she’s also a certified private investigator.

She has since opened up her own PI business. Jennifer also has a master’s degree in criminal justice.

Jennifer has always been grateful for the opportunity to get out and see the world. One of the best things about being an actress is the flexible schedule it provides. She has been able to do lots of traveling throughout the years and has visited places like Uganda, New Zealand, Thailand, and Cambodia.
7. She Planned On Becoming A Police Officer
Earlier when I said that acting wasn’t really in Jennifer’s plans, I wasn’t exaggerating.

Unfortunately, an injury prevented that dream from coming true.
8. She’s From Colorado

10. She’s A Private Person
She’s been in the industry for well over a decade at this point, but Jennifer has never been the type to get caught up in the hype of being in the spotlight. She prefers to keep things private and has never really shared too many details about her personal life. Although we do know that she is married and has four children, she doesn’t share photos of them on social media.
