Meet Jen

Hey there! I'm Jeniffer, and my journey is a bit of a  international love story. I was born in beautiful Guadalajara, Mexico, and I’ve got a bachelor’s degree in International Relations—pretty fitting since I’m now happily married to the love of my life, Mike, who’s American. We joke that I love, live, and laugh my career! 

Our love story has a little sprinkle of destiny: Mike was my blind date to a wedding in Mexico, and—yep, you guessed it—we did the long-distance dance for two years. Eventually, we knew we were meant to be together. In 2014, we tied the knot with our own dreamy destination wedding in Playa del Carmen.

Now we’re living our happily-ever-after in Elmhurst with our two amazing kids, Aaron and Alexandra. I’ve been in the U.S. for 12 years, but my heart still carries a piece of Mexico with me. Every time one of my wonderful clients chooses Mexico, I feel closer to home.

Thank you for wanting to get to know me! I can’t wait to share more of this adventure with you.

With love,
Jen
