About the Producer
Jennifer recently completed the Emmy Award winning public television documentary Teens: Behind the Wheel. In this documentary, independently controlled cameras were used to monitor teen driving behavior for six months. Sections of the documentary have been shown on Good Morning America, Dateline, ABC World News Tonight and MSNBC, as well as numerous local news stations across the country. The documentary has also been written about in the New York Times, Providence Journal, Hartford Courant, and other newspapers across the country. Teens: Behind the Wheel is currently airing on PBS stations nationwide.
In 2003, Jennifer produced, directed and wrote several documentaries, including the Emmy Award winning Wall of Fire. This half hour documentary explores fire safety through the eyes of fire fighters, survivors, investigators and child arsonists. The program aired on PBS stations nationwide.
Also in 2003, Jennifer received a second Emmy Award for her 5-part series Connecticut’s Energy Future. This Connecticut Public Television series focused on energy issues facing the state and the nation, and examined renewable energy options for the future. The series was hosted by well-known actor Ed Asner.
Prior to Connecticut’s Energy Future, Jennifer produced, directed and wrote three other documentaries that were distributed nationally through PBS; Understanding the Divide, Seniors: Behind the Wheel, and Kids and Cars: Before the Crash . Understanding the Divide openly discussed deep-rooted prejudices, and explored race, religion, sexual orientation and culture as sources of division. Seniors explored the emotional and complex issues surrounding senior driving from the perspective of the senior, as well as adult family members. Kids and Cars examined the causes of childhood injury and loss of life associated with motor vehicles, and offered solutions to end staggering statistics.
Jennifer has also produced and directed nightly news, public affairs, sports and entertainment programming. She has also created fundraising and educational documentaries for such clients as the Peace Corps, US Department of Justice, TechnoServe, and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
