Jennifer also worked in Washington D.C., for several networks: Fox News Channel, SRN News and NBC News.
At NBC under tight deadlines, she produced stories for affiliates across the country.
Jennifer also helped coordinate live coverage at the Bush headquarters for the 2004 presidential election. At SRN, where she gathered news on Capitol Hill, Jennifer wrote and anchored live hourly newscasts for a radio network serving more than 1,500 stations.
In 2022, Jennifer was nominated for two Emmy Awards. One for her exclusive sit-down interview with the mother of Caitlyn Kaufman, a young ICU nurse slain during an apparent road rage incident in Nashville. The second was for her work with the KDKA team during the Fern Hollow Bridge collapse.
Jennifer earned her third nomination and first Emmy win in 2023 for her investigative report on a 911 dispatcher in Greene County who was accused and charged with not sending help for a dying woman. Jennifer won a 2024 Golden Quill Award for News Feature, for her story "Miracle on the Parkway."
