As Peel Compton Foundation’s director of development, Jennifer connects the community of Bentonville, Arkansas through nature, education, recreation and preservation. She heads the organization’s philanthropy, marketing, events and customer service efforts.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in mass communication and English from the University of Central Arkansas, Jennifer started her career in Washington D.C. working in various positions. After 9/11 and the anthrax scare in 2001, she moved back to Arkansas and began working in government at local and state levels. Eventually, Jennifer realized her passion lay in nonprofit work and accepted a position at the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance. In 2020, she joined Peel Compton Foundation.
Jennifer is not surprised about her career path. Growing up, she knew she wanted to help others. In middle school, she was the president of a community-service club. Two projects she is involved in are the Buffalo 50th Anniversary at Compton Gardens and the Coler Mountain Bike Preserve. Due to her contagious personality and passion for her career, Jennifer received WIN Podcast’s “Most Enthusiastic Guest” award.
Jennifer is also involved in other nonprofit organizations, including the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, Arkansas & Northwest Arkansas Foodbank, Women’s Foundation of Arkansas and Autism Speaks. Jennifer and her husband have two children, including a son with autism, which fuels her advocacy for individuals with special needs.
