GUEST INTRO - Jennifer Winkelman Born and raised surrounded by the scenic beauty of Northern Michigan, Jennifer now feels lucky to call Montana home. Her journey across the United States spans nearly two decades: She achieved her dream of modeling in her mid-twenties, representing Dodge for NASCAR and Chrysler for the Auto Show circuit. She was one of the inaugural 50 female promotional pro drivers for JEEP and Ram. Jennifer’s influence extended beyond the automotive realm, as she lent her charisma to brands such as AT&T and Coca-Cola. She graced iconic events like the Super Bowl, All-Star Games, and Final Four. Jennifer’s images have been showcased in international publications, including a display at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Jennifer combined her passion for music by collaborating with Rock and Roll magazines and production companies. She worked with renowned bands ranging from Candlebox to Megadeth, and festivals from Electric Forest to Rockville. Amidst her adventures, Jennifer learned the important connection between community and marketing. She made and built long-lasting friendships across the United States. Jennifer, always the social butterfly, has a passion for sisterhood, first inspired by the Girl Scouts. Friends and family are top priorities for Jennifer. She and her cousin Lisa Fix created Girl Talk of Age to nurture connections and empower women. Among Jennifer’s other loves are traveling, music, crafts, plants, gardening, and the outdoors. She and her partner Ross rekindled their relationship after 16 years, sharing her first dog, Freddy. Because of Freddy, Jennifer is a bonafide “Dog Mom.” He was the inspiration for GTOA offering doggie discounts which led to our organization offering a variety of discounts – beauty, clothing, plants, music, sports, candles, pets, etc. – to its members.
