| Personal History | Jennifer was born and raised in a suburb within San Francisco, California in 2359. She had a normal childhood, and engaged well with her school teachers and made plenty of friends. Jennifer had a good relationship with her brother Jonathan, and spent a lot of time with him growing up in and around San Francisco. The two of them would often go walking around the city together from a relatively young age. One winter, when Jennifer was only eleven years old, she and her brother were walking along the seafront during a particularly stormy afternoon. Jonathan would often enjoy watching the waves crash onto the shore during storms. Suddenly a wave crashed onto the path that the siblings were standing on, and swept Jennifer out into the water. Knowing that Jennifer wasn’t a strong swimmer, Jonathan didn’t hesitate to jump in after his sister despite the dangers. Thankfully he managed to get his sister back to the shore and started chest compressions and mouth to mouth as soon as he realised she wasn’t breathing. Within moments she started coughing up the salty water and recovered. Jennifer and her brother became even closer after that day. Growing up in and around ‘Frisco’, Jennifer had made the decision from a very early age that she wanted to join Starfleet. The city was always full of Academy cadets and personnel, and she had always thought that they looked so smart and so brave. She joined the Academy at the age of 18 to study tactics and security, and graduated from Starfleet Academy at the age of 22. She had some of the most impressive results of her year, and graduated summa cum laude. Although she remained incredibly grounded and humble despite her achievements. Jennifer applied for a handful of starship positions almost immediately, and was offered a post onboard the USS Sequential as a security and tactical officer. The only negative was that the Sequential would be setting off on a two-year deep space mission. Thinking about the positives and negatives and weighing up her other options, Jennifer finally accepted the posting. After two years, the Sequential returned to Earth and allowed the crew to disembark on some much needed rest and relaxation. It was now 2383, and Jennifer felt that it was now the right time to move on with her career. She applied for a posting onboard the USS Excellente as the assistant Chief Tactical & Security officer. Her application was successful and she served onboard the Excellente for four years, earning commendations and merits along the way. She made some friends that she would cherish forever. The USS Foley would be her next posting, an intrepid-class ship that saw only small amounts of combat during Jennifer’s three years onboard. However, the CO was impressed enough by her service that he placed a permanent commendation on her record for exemplary service to ship and crew. Captain Elias Jones approached Jennifer in 2390 and offered her the opportunity to come aboard the USS Pembroke as its second officer. The man had heard great things about the officer, and wanted Jennifer to be part of his command staff on the Pembroke. Jennifer accepted the offer and served Jones and the ship for five years before an exciting opportunity made itself known… In 2395 an opportunity to join the crew of the USS Oberon as the Executive officer presented itself to her. This was a great opportunity to advance her career as an officer and a member of Starfleet, and an opportunity Jennifer grabbed with both hands. |
