She has worked as a personal chef and cooking teacher for local residents. In 2005, through shared passion for local food, Jen and Brenda created a unique catering business that emphasizes using fresh local ingredients and sharing their knowledge with clients and event guests alike. Jen currently resides in El Portal with her husband and their two boys. She works with children at the local elementary school, teaches yoga, and continues working as a chef, focusing on sharing benefits of choosing a local diet.
