Jeni is a passionate advocate for positive social impact, co-founding the non-profit charitable corporation, Social Sessions, based in Southern California. A devoted enthusiast of house and techno music in all its diverse forms—ranging from deep and disco to progressive and melodic—Jeni has channeled her love for music into a powerful force for good.

Amid the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Jeni, alongside co-founder Brian Wade, orchestrated Social Sessions' inaugural house music fundraiser. This event not only supported musicians affected by the pandemic but also aimed to alleviate the suffering of children in abusive environments. The live stream brought together the electronic music community in a unique and impactful way.

Building on the success of their initial fundraiser, Jeni and Brian expanded their philanthropic endeavors. In 2021, Social Sessions hosted Holiday House, a festive fundraiser and toy drive benefiting families with children experiencing homelessness and poverty, and featuring SoCal's original underground artists, including Thee-O, Jason Blakemore, and Wally Callerio. This event marked the beginning of an annual tradition that would grow in scale and impact.

The year 2022 marked a significant milestone for Social Sessions as it officially obtained 501c3 status. This designation solidified the organization's commitment to charitable work. The second annual toy drive—again benefitting families experiencing homelessness and poverty— featuring renowned artists like Lubelski, Anton Tumas, Tara Brooks, Mary Droppinz, Lupe Fuentes, and Donald Glaude, exemplified the continued growth and success of Social Sessions' mission.

Jeni's dedication to community service extends beyond Social Sessions. In a further demonstration of her commitment to making a positive difference, she joined PBMTV as a volunteer, contributing her time and energy to help the organization realize its vision. Through her continued efforts, Jeni strives to benefit the community one family at a time, using the universal language of music to create a positive impact in the lives of those in need.

When Jeni isn't operating Social Sessions, she is a full-time Account Strategist for a globally renowned architect-engineering firm consistently ranked among Engineering News Record's top 3. Specializing in the dynamic Los Angeles transportation market, she spearheads the development of pursuit strategies for multi-million and billion-dollar infrastructure projects, showcasing her leadership and strategic prowess.

And her most rewarding role of all is being a single mom of two, one who is almost off to college and another in middle school.
