"Transferring to MCLA was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. Being able to learn from and connect with the faculty and staff equipped me with greater networking capabilities/skills and the opportunity to use them outside of the institution, preparing me for the road ahead. Taking part and engaging in different clubs and organizations on campus helped to shape and guide me for countless opportunities."

With a MA in Humanistic Psychology and a MFA in Creative Writing (fiction), Jenifer teaches writing using interdisciplinary, “humanistic” methods that honor the imperfect PROCESS of creating (as well as the Sisyphusian desire to create a perfect product). Having to learn these lessons herself, of course, Jenifer has written rough drafts of both a memoir and a novel that are quite imperfect but bursting with potential. Two excerpts from the novel have been published in The Berkshire Review, one in the form of a poem. She enjoys living a rugged lifestyle, chainsawing her own firewood and mowing “the meadow.”
