Jennifer Peterson

Majoring in English Writing
Slippery Rock University, Class of 2029
From Grove City, Pennsylvania

Hi! My friends call me, Jen, so you can too. I'm a commuting freshman at SRU with a passion for creative writing. I live in Grove City with my dad, William, and sisters, Lydia and Taryn---we're identical triplets and best friends. Lydia is the oldest, I'm the middle child, and Taryn is the youngest. We're each only a minute apart. In 2023, my sisters and I self-published our debut novel, AWAKE, a YA supernatural, coming-of-age story. You can find AWAKE online on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, available in paperback. Once I graduate, I plan to pursue a career in the writing industry.

Library Aide

Senior year at GCHS, I was a dedicated library aide. It wasn't "just shelving books," but, instead, required quite a bit of artistic talent.

Work Experience

Server at Eat'n Park

I'm currently a part-time server at Grove City Eat'n Park. Through this job I have developed customer service and time-management skills. I work to independently pay my way through college, and I believe this has taught me the true value of money. If you stop in ENP, I recommend the pot roast sandwich.
