Jennifer (Jennifer Kerrick Pento) from Lk Barrington, IL
Marine
and
Jennifer is mom to three amazing kids, of which the youngest, Cole, is their newest Marine.
Her family consists of 3 generations of Marines, starting with her father in 1956 at PI and her
sister, who piloted CH-46 helicopters in the Middle East after 9/11. It didn't surprise her
family when Cole announced that he wanted to continue the tradition and do something
incredibly challenging and important to our nation. Jennifer, with her husband of 32 years,
resides in northern Illinois and enjoys visiting the attractions in Chicago, traveling
internationally, and spending time with her family.
In her professional life as a project manager, Jennifer is known to be the "helper of the
team." She enjoys the challenge of mentoring junior team members while successfully
managing global teams to deliver complex products to customers. This professional aspect
translates to her interest in volunteering for MarineParents.com. Jennifer sees the need for
families to have the resources needed to help them through new territory by sending their
loved one to Boot Camp or an assignment. When her sister (ret. USMC) piloted a CH-46
helicopter in the Middle East after 9/11, her family could have greatly benefited from an
organization such as MarineParents.com to provide information and have a forum in which
to seek comfort. Situations like this drive Jennifer to want to volunteer at MarineParents.com
and help others.
