She has been described by Juice Magazine as gifted with “swift, animated style” and by her critics as “a sensitive, conservative-radical, sometimes socially conscious poet struggling to be heard, even perhaps survive in the midst of this often less than thoughtful, less than kind postcolonial city-state” (Cha Journal). She has two collections of poetry and has been published in Quarterly Literary Review of Singapore, Esquire magazine and The Straits Times newspaper.
Jennifer received a BA Honours degree in English Literature with a minor in Communications and New Media from the National University of Singapore.
