Personal Life
Jennifer enjoys challenging and spearheading projects in her professional and personal life. Jennifer first moved to Sacramento in 1989, where she assisted as an associate for the Junior League of Sacramento from 1993-2001. Jennifer developed her passion for volunteering and aiding the community during that time. Before her children’s graduation, Jennifer was actively involved in their schools and education. She served as a room mom and a successful fundraising organizer for school events. These fundraisers comprised everything from raising funds to remodeling a non-profit school facility to chairing Jesuit High School’s Christmas Tree Lane Gala celebration. In college, Jennifer realized her passion for the law, where she acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree in Law and Society. She attended law school at the University of the Pacific in Stockton and McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. There she met her husband, Matthew R. Eason. They’re celebrating over twenty-five years of marriage and are proud parents of two young adults in pursuit of their passions in college.
