  • How and Why did she become That CAD Girl? Many years ago when working in civil engineering and land surveying offices, she found herself working primarily with men (naturally). Since she was the only “girl” in the office, clients or others asking for her would often simply ask for “That CAD Girl” in the office. The name stuck.
  • What most people don’t know about Jennifer. In 2020 she participated in, and finished, a 5k, a 10k and a half-marathon on 3 consecutive days during Disney’s Marathon Weekend.
  • Something on Jennifer’s bucket list that has not been accomplished. Taking a cruise from San Francisco to Australia – with a stop in Hawaii.
