With her father in starfleet, her mother a history teacher and later her brother being a politican, she was raised in a very intellectual and political surrounding. Whereas all of her older siblings had strong characters, Jennifer was always a discrete girl. She loved our family and always took care of them, but discretely.

Outside the house, however, Jennifer was a bit more active. If she was often going out, she always kept control. Her father being in starfleet, she saw him only during shore leaves but he has always took great care of his family. At 15, her father was promoted to FO of a Galaxy-Class, and Jennifer and her twin sister, Jessica, spent two year on the ship. This is then she discovered her passion for space...phenomena. At 17, both twin sisters were accepted at Harvard.

• Starfleet Academy - Major in subspace mechanics - Minor in engineering

Pre-Starfleet History

Starfleet History

Jennifer completed her formation in science (subspace mechanics) at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco.
