It may not have been her red-sparkly shoes that got her home, but more her drive to report on a variety of stories in a variety of cities that has enabled Jennifer Jensen to finally be back in her native San Diego.

As a general assignment reporter, Jennifer joined 10News in March, 2008 after working as a freelance reporter for the station since June, 2007. Since that time, she has covered everything from the La Jolla landslide and the sudden snowfall in Alpine to the October 2007 wildfires. It was during the wildfires when Jennifer realized how much she loved her line of work and how much of an impact she could make on the community. Personal letters and emails helped her realize what she was doing was a real service to those who could not be near their homes during the first 48 hours of the fire.

Jennifer completed two internships at KGTV: one in the sports department and one on the assignment desk. She also worked as a producer and writer at the station before getting her first reporting job in Yuma, AZ. She also worked as the evening anchor and a reporter for a start-up station in neighboring Temecula, before coming to 10News.

When she’s not bringing San Diegans news while the sun is rising, Jennifer’s enjoying time at home with her family. Jennifer enjoys baking, shopping, yoga, hiking and beating her sweetheart at Scrabble. Drop her a story idea or message at Jennifer's E-mail.
