Jennifer's Story
Life
I moved to Illinois about 5 years ago, and I really like it out here, lots to do and see. I moved for a job, one I don't have anymore, but I'm really glad I made the move:). Currently, I am an Environmental Scientist at the Wendler Group, an environmental consulting firm. Life outside of work is busy. I just got married this summer to Dale Farris. Dale and I met over three years ago at a health club. We have a house in the suburbs of Chicago which we share with our cat Baxter and our bunny Shelton.
School
I went to St. Martha School from 1st to 8th grade, and graduated in 1993. I definitely had a good time there. I enjoyed my teachers, and liked almost every class. I had some good friends, but unfortunately have lost track of them all. I played soccer, basketball and softball at St. Martha.
I went to Archbishop Ryan for my freshman year of high school. I remember feeling very lost there, it was so much bigger than grade school, literally and figuratively. I could not stay at Ryan because of finances. I played soccer, basketball and softball at Ryan.
After that I went to George Washington High School and graduated in 1997. Those first couple of months at Washington were the worst times of my life. I only knew two people in the whole school, my brother and my best friend, which would have been enough, except our paths never crossed.

arted, I started to like Washington. I was glad that the people I played sports with were so nice, it definitely made high school bearable. I wish that I was still in contact with friends from Washington.
College
After I graduated from Washington, I went to Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, PA. I majored in Agronomy and Environmental Science. I was a starter on the women's soccer team as a defensive player. Our team made it to the playoffs my senior year, but unfortunately lost in the first round. It was a great opportunity to play college ball. I also joined a sorority, Delta Epsilon Beta. My best friends from college are either from the soccer team or the sorority. I was also a part of an academic fraternity, Delta Tau Alpha.
My time at Del Val was awesome, I was sad to leave. I am so grateful for all the people I met and experiences I had at Del Val.
Workplace
After graduation I got a position with Advanced GeoServices Corporation as a environmental field technician. I stayed with AGC for 6 months. I then moved to Illinois for a job with Testing Service Corporation. I was with TSC for almost 4 years. My title at TSC was Project Manager of Phase I Environmental Assessments. In October 2005, I accepted a position with the Wendler Group as a Project Manger/Environmental Scientist. I left Wendler in June 2007, and accepted the position of Consultant with Bureau Veritas, and international consulting firm.
