Jennifer is editor of SignOnSanDiego.com's Entertainment Guide, covering what to do (from recreation to concerts to plays) and where to go (from restaurants to bars to attractions) in San Diego. She has been working as an online journalist since 1999. An SDSU alumna, she covered technology and Internet issues and acted as assistant copy chief for the student-run Daily Aztec. Jennifer also mentors college students interested in learning about online journalism and chats it up on AmplifySD.com, San Diego's only all-local online radio station.
