Prior to joining the Institute, she spent three years building IDiF, a 501(c)(3) organization devoted to promoting equitable capital allocation in asset management. IDiF has since evolved into the IDAC Foundation, with a focus on financial literacy. Jenny is also an accomplished documentary producer whose work has been featured across major networks including PBS, HBO, and MSNBC.

In 2018, Jenny learned that she carried a BRCA1 mutation. After watching her mother battle breast cancer not once--but twice--Jenny elected to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy followed by reconstruction. Since then, Jenny has been a dedicated member of the Basser Young Leadership Council and committed to raising money for BRCA-related research. She was elected as Co-Chair for the YLC in 2021.
