She is particularly interested in how social, economic, and labor trends influenced ancestors' lives. Jennifer has presented at the Georgia Genealogical Society, Allen County Public Library, and local societies throughout Georgia. She is an active volunteer serving as Co-Chair of the Cherokee County Georgia Oral History Committee and Vice President of the Southeast Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists.
