Hi! I’m Jen, and I live about 15 minutes outside
of Pittsburgh in Robinson Township
I did my freshman and sophomore years at Penn
State University Park , my junior year here at
Duquesne, and I am now in my first professional
year of pharmacy
At Penn State I was a committee member for
THON, the largest student run philanthropy in
the world, and that year we raised $10.7 million
for the kids!
I am a member of PPAG and I work as an intern
at Giant Eagle Market District in Robinson
I love just about everything pink or buffalo
chicken
New York City is the city I would love to live and
work in after graduation
Chocolate and puppies are my weaknesses
I’m currently training to run my first 5K at the
Race for the Cure in Pittsburgh for one of my
best friend’s mom who is fighting breast cancer
