Happiness and Resilience: A panel discussion with Boise State Public Radio Jan. 21

Jennifer Roark

Jennifer was not always a fan of public radio. As a young child growing up in Hailey Idaho, she would carry a Walkman and headphones on family road trips to drowned out the NPR news her parents played over the car radio. However, as she grew up, she fell truly in love with Boise State Radio.

Jennifer is an attorney who spent time in private practice, with the Idaho Public Defense Commission and is now a Deputy City Attorney with the City of Boise. Jennifer was a founding board member of the Third District CASA program, and now in addition to her time with KBSU, she volunteers with Clutch, an organization focused on creating a supportive space for LQBTQ youth in Canyon County.

In her free time Jennifer enjoys traveling, camping, hiking, rafting, snowshoeing and adventuring with her husband and dogs while listening to news, classical and jazz music and podcasts from Boise State Public Radio!
