She graduated with honors from CSU Los Angeles with a Master?s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and a certificate in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Upon graduation she was awarded Special Recognition in Graduate Studies. The focus of her Interdisciplinary Study was race, gender and media in popular culture. Jennifer received an Honorable Mention from the Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowship 2009.
