Early Years: You Can't Fake Passion
After being born in Germany, Jennifer came to the United States when she was two years old. By age five, she realized her passion for singing on stage when left to sing Joy to the World solo (Everyone else had stage fright). Between the ages of five and twelve, Jennifer began swimming competitively, and she competed at the AAU Junior Olympics. Yet, she eventually gave it up and opted to play basketball in high school.

Grab the mic! I sang professionally and have an ensemble recording, but I secretly love performing karaoke.
Feed the birds... Every morning, you can find me on my porch feeding my bird and squirrel families.
Exploring the finest flavors: I started out my career in culinary school, but I moved away from it to spend more time with my son. Now, I'm a fish-eating pescatarian; I don't eat dairy; and I try to veganize every recipe I make!

What's your sun sign? My mom, sister, husband, son and I are all peaceful Libras.

Record scratching: I love music, and I have an extensive collection of vinyl records in a variety of genres.
The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black: We named our two cats Bellatrix and Narcissa as a nod to the two (mostly) villainous Harry Potter characters.

Early Years: Ready to Get Her Hands Dirty
Growing up in Ellicott City, Maryland, Amy was an only child - except for a spastic Weimaraner. The pup was as close as a sibling, since Amy took the blame whenever she broke things or chewed-up comforters. Through her parent's employment, Amy had the opportunity to travel and loved experiencing different parts of Europe with her parents. She even channeled her interest in art and was awarded a certificate of appreciation for painting an exhibit at the National Cryptologic Museum in Maryland. Amy later studied photography and psychology at Howard Community College but felt she learned better outside the classroom.
What we know about Amy: Fun in the Sun
Amy loves to travel anywhere warm: Aruba, the Florida Keys, the Virgin Islands, but no cruises. She prefers all-inclusive resorts where she can double-fist daiquiris, rather than being stranded on a random rock or contracting the plague aboard a ship.
Training with the best: I got my black belt in martial arts when I was 12, and I started teaching adult classes.
Who's the Boss? Tony Danza almost knocked me over in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. He's quite short, by the way.
Crunchy candy only! I am terrified of all things "gummy." Gummy worms, gummy bears, Jell-O, everything. They legitimately freak me out.
