What I remember most about elementary school is... my best friend and all the adventures we had together.
If I could have any job for one day, I would want to be

I love working at JA because

Jennifer was born and raised in Stephenville, TX, home of the Yellow Jackets. She moved to Abilene in 2005 where she began raising a family and eventually made Abilene her new home. After having her fourth daughter in 2013, she decided to go back to college to pursue a degree in Psychology at HSU. During that time, Jennifer started a small business and continued school as well as running the storefront, 23 Junk Street. The business continued to grow and while she did gain her B.A. of Psychology in 2018, further education was put on hold to continue the business. Since then, she has sold the store and is focusing on spending more time with her family and plans to go back to school one day. Today Jennifer owns a small part-time screen-printing business, works as a freelance event coordinator where she works with local businesses to organize various community events, and serves on event committees when asked. She loves being busy and thrives in organized chaos. She is extremely happy to be a part of Junior Achievement and cannot wait to see what the future brings.
Jennifer is married to Mateo Martinez and has four beautiful daughters. Cameron-17, Taylor-14, Chloi-10, and Zoi-7.
