IRVINE, Calif. - Washingtoner -- Born in Detroit, Michigan, to a Taiwanese American family, Jennifer has devoted her entire career to working on human rights matters. She received her B.A. from Stanford University, focusing on International Relations and Philosophy. During her undergraduate studies, she assisted scholars at the Hoover Research Institution think tank in analyzing disease migration in developing nations. Her first job out of college was at a public interest law firm where she registered and placed homeless people into shelters and counseled detained children who had been trafficked into the country.

Jennifer spent time at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C., working on policy issues concerning school construction and safety in the post-Columbine era. She earned her law degree from George Washington University before becoming an investigator examining factory production in Asia and working on human rights cases. As a human rights investigator, she observed countless workers overseas get sick from toxic materials while laboring excessively long hours for minimal compensation.

The Orange County Business Journal "Innovator of the Year" recognized Jennifer, her passionate young team, and their inspiring company mission.

For a decade, Live Good has been on a mission to address specific crises in manufacturing and distribution by developing a business model with a new vision– a vision of inclusivity, sustainability, and community orientation. Embodying the humanitarian spirit of servant leadership, Live Good has made progressive contributions not only to sustainable manufacturing but also to humanitarian efforts locally and around the globe by bringing people from all walks of life together and establishing strong partnerships to tackle the pressing issues of homelessness, food insecurity and access to education.

Living up to its name, Live Good is a force of good. Last year, the company held many educational and charity events; partnering with the nonprofit Union Station Homeless Services (USHS), it had its first Live Good Charity Auction, A Celebration of Love and Unity Marathon, where participants ran over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Lunch with the Mayor held at Palm Court at the Great Park in Irvine, CA. Attendees were treated to an intimate and private luncheon with guest of honor, Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan. These events raised funds to serve and empower the homeless population of Los Angeles and Orange County.
