Jennifer is a multifaceted professional whose career journey spans education, healthcare, and real estate. After high school, she began her path as a nurse’s assistant, which taught her patience, compassion and empathy. This experience ignited her interest to pursue an Associates of Science, and a Bachelors of Science degree. Having been a substitue teacher while in college, she discovered her passion for teaching and aquired a Secondary Teaching Certificate, and a Masters in Educational Leadership.
As part of her journey, Jennifer coached middle school girls volleyball and gained invaluable experience through student teaching and an administration externship at Fremont Middle School. She also expanded her clinical skills by completing two externships as a surgical technologist in the operating room.
Transitioning to real estate, she has built an impressive 17-year career as a licensed Realtor and, for the past 10 years, has served as a Licensed Broker and Owner of Green Key Real, LLC, where she turned many agents into top producers under her supervision and training. Her expertise extends to managing her own rental properties and orchestrating the purchase and sale of numerous single-family residential dwellings across multiple counties. Recognized for her excellence, she has earned accolades such as Rookie of the Year and Realtor of the Year. Additionally, her leadership is evident from her roles as Secretary, Vice President, and President of the Real Estate board in Hillsdale, and she remains an active member in associations across Hillsdale, Jackson, and Grand Traverse counties.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Jennifer has a passion for interior design, enjoys watching real crime shows and Wheel of Fortune, and has a soft spot for animals—raising French mastiffs imported from overseas for over 10 years. Known for being independent, driven, genuine, determined, honest, and straightforward, she brings these qualities to every facet of her life and career.

We felt entirely comfortable reaching out at any time, day or night, with any question or concern we had and she would respond immediately. She was always open and honest with us, very knowledgeable, and I was confident trusting her expertise. You could tell she was not just interested in selling us any house, but she really cared that we found the home that was right for us. I never felt pressured or like we were rushing into a decision to place an offer. She was patient and accommodating, and worked around our schedules. We worked with Jennifer based on a recommendation from a friend, and we would not hesitate to recommend her as an agent.
