Jennifer is a Ramapo alumna, graduating cum laude with an undergraduate degree in Law and Society.  She comes from a family of proud Ramapo graduates, beginning with her late mother Barbara (’89, Psychology) and late brother Thomas (’91, Marketing). Since 2019, Jennifer has maintained memorial scholarships in each of their memories to support other students on their journeys toward academic success.

Jennifer’s studies and extracurricular activities at Ramapo solidified her passion for law; and she went on to earn a Juris Doctor from Rutgers Law School.  She has dedicated her career to serving clients with integrity and purpose; and she brings over twenty years of legal experience to her role on the Board of Governors.  After litigating for over a decade, she transitioned to the corporate environment and currently serves as Lead Counsel at Benjamin Moore & Co., a Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. company.  Her unique and celebrated career also includes serving as an Assistant Professor of Management at Ramapo, where she helped prepare students for academic and professional success by bringing her practical experience to the classroom. As such, Jennifer was both an advocate for and mentor to students leveraging the experiential opportunities afforded to them via Ramapo’s cooperative internship program.

Living locally with her family, Jennifer remains actively committed to community initiatives.  As a board member, she is grateful to give back to the institution that helped shape her own path. Jennifer’s goal in this position is to inspire and secure future generations’ success.
