Biography |
Jennifer Schefft was originally introduced to television
audiences in April 2003, during the third installment of
“The Bachelor,” where she won the heart of Andrew Firestone.
Although she accepted his proposal, the relationship with
Firestone ultimately ended in heartbreak. Jen, who resides
in Chicago, remains a hopeless romantic and is optimistic
about finding her husband on “The Bachelorette.” Once her
new role was announced, US Weekly named her “The Hottest TV
Comeback of 2004.”
After college, Jen, 28, began her career as an account
executive at Getty Images, a photography company in Chicago,
where she worked for five years. On “The Bachelor,” her
magnetic appeal made her a favorite with the show’s avid
viewers, as well as the press. After filming the show, she
moved to San Francisco where she worked as a sales manager
for the Firestone Family Vineyards. She also served as the
Goodwill Ambassador for Firestone Tires, which included
serving as a spokesperson and advocate for the Driver’s
Edge, a program that educates teens about the dangers
associated with drinking and driving.
When she returned to Chicago, Jen was invited to join Rockit
Ranch Productions as an event planner. An integral part of
the marketing and consulting team, she is proactive in
creating unique events for top clients looking to reach
young, savvy, consumers. She uses her expertise in customer
relations to benefit various philanthropic efforts by
coordinating charity and fundraising events.
Jen is from Mentor, Ohio, where she and younger brother
Jason, who is a teacher, were raised by her parents, Diane,
a health teacher/aerobics instructor, and Dave, a human
resources manager. To this day, Jen especially values her
relationship with her parents, who provide her unconditional
support. At Mentor High School, her outgoing personality led
her to be a cheerleader for both football and basketball. A
well-rounded student, she was also Student Council Secretary
and was inducted into the National Honor Society.
Following her graduation in 1994, Jen enrolled at Ohio
University in Athens, where she majored in marketing with a
concentration in journalism, advertising and public
relations. In addition to her studies, she was an active
member of a sorority, Alpha Xi Delta, where she developed
keen social skills and a flair for communicating with a
variety of audiences. She graduated summa cum laude in 1998
with a bachelors degree in business administration.
An avid athlete, Jen’s activities include kickboxing,
running and especially dancing. She also enjoys spending
time with friends and family. |
