Jennifer a une vaste expérience au sein d’organisations multinationales et multiculturelles, en particulier devant les cours et tribunaux internationaux (TPIR, TPIY, CETC, CPI, MTPI). Jennifer est intervenue à la fois en tant que Conseil de la Défense et représentant légal de victimes dans des affaires pénales internationales complexes concernant des génocides, des crimes contre l'humanité, des crimes de guerre et des violences sexuelles. Par exemple, elle a participé à la représentation d'Hormisdas Nsengimana (acquitté par le TPIR), de victimes devant les CETC et de victimes du terrorisme. Elle a aussi travaillé pour des ONG (par exemple le GISTI, et la Croix-Rouge française) et des institutions politiques (par exemple l’Assemblée nationale) et fournit régulièrement des conseils stratégiques aux États, aux OI et à des communautés affectées par des crimes internationaux dans le cadre de son travail de conseil au sein de SILC. Étant intervenue tant pour des accusés que pour des survivants de crimes internationaux dans des pays ravagés par des guerres, Jennifer a une compréhension concrète et complète des défis auxquels sont confrontées les équipes juridiques et cette expérience explique son double engagement : pour les droits de la Défense et en faveur des victimes. En tant que membre fondateur de l'ICCBA et en tant que membre du CE, Jennifer s'est efforcée de mettre à profit son expérience pour plaider en faveur de la mise en œuvre à la CPI de conditions de travail adéquates au bénéfice des membres  des  équipes juridiques (notamment afin de renforcer les droits des Conseils et du personnel d’appui féminin qu’il s’agisse de faire reconnaitre le congé maternité rémunéré ou d’instaurer des protections contre le harcèlement) et promouvoir une représentation égale des genres dans la profession. Jennifer a aussi été un ardent défenseur du respect de l'équité et de l'égalité des armes à la CPI en particulier par le biais de son travail en tant que membre clef du Groupe de travail sur l'aide judiciaire et la fiscalité de l'ABCPI et la promotion de ces questions auprès de divers acteurs diplomatiques, à l’ASP et au-delà. Jennifer enseigne le droit international, les droits de l'homme, le DIH et le droit international pénal depuis plus d'une décennie tant dans un contexte académique que professionnel (CICR, Université de Leiden, Sciences Po, ICCBA, Formation des Conseils à la CPI, etc.).
