Jennifer joined JB+A at the end of June. A practicing anthropologist, she has a strong background in qualitative research and a passion for seeing nonprofits succeed. Jennifer holds a M.S. in Anthropology from Purdue University and a B.A. in Anthropology from Indiana University. She conducted her field research in Belize with a focus on chronic disease and food choice. She is an active member of the Society for Applied Anthropology.

She also served as Secretary and Assessment Working Group Chair at the Bloomington Food Policy Council and was a founding Trustee of the Glenn Carter Memorial Toolshare.
Jennifer relocated to Kansas City in 2016 and quickly dove into Kansas City’s growing tech scene. At mySidewalk and SMG, she polished her skills in customer research and relationship management. Jennifer says, “I recognized my calling was with nonprofits, and at Jeffrey Byrne + Associates, I have the opportunity to support our clients in achieving their missions and fundraising goals.” Jennifer enjoys spending her free time with her husband David and their two pets, Hildr, a one-eyed black cat, and Butters, an elderly mini lop rabbit.
