Spending her youth as a competitive Scottish Highland Dancer encouraged her interest and love for the Scottish traditions. Jennifer is an exceptional vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who plays the piano, guitar, and bodhrán (Irish drum). After living almost a decade in Scotland and Ireland, Jennifer realized the strong similarities between Scotland and North Carolina...and her music began to branch out into a genre that honors those connections.

“I believe that the music needs to connect with the audience through our shared emotions and experiences for us all to feel that which can only be experienced through music.”

Jennifer works as a performer, educator, and advocate for cultural inclusion in education. She is the producer of the Highland Echoes show, which helps support the mission of cultivating awareness and preservation of Scottish culture.  From an educational side, Jennifer is the owner of The Cultural Classroom  a curriculum content website providing resources and support for teachers, parents, and students on diversity.
