Jennifer and her husband, Kurt, both long-time residents of Arlington Heights, joined alongside the Sakwa and Feder Families to give birth to Shelter Academy of Light in 2011. Since that time Jennifer has served as a board member and has held the officer positions of vice president and secretary.

Jennifer has 10 years of high school teaching experience, in addition to 10 years of private tutoring and many years of teaching Religious Education. These experiences drive Jennifer’s efforts to put Christ’s words into action to “love one another as I have loved you” through her work with Shelter Academy.  Kurt and Jennifer have three children who are the highlight of their life. In addition to Shelter Academy of Light, Jennifer dedicates her time to family, church, and healthy living.
