The Samantha Foundation staff works to promote the vision of the Kesslers and prevent a tragedy like Samantha's from ever happening to another family.
At this time, we are pleased to introduce the Foundation's professional staff.
Jennifer A. Gould, Executive Director
Jennifer has been a long-time supporter of The Samantha Foundation, even before becoming a member of the staff. As a friend of the Kessler family, Jennifer has worked tirelessly to increase awareness about childhood injury prevention. She has been instrumental in organizing fundraising and safety events, as well as soliciting major gifts to fund The Samantha Foundation's Home Safety Kit Program and Aquatic Safety Awareness Program (ASAP). She divides her time between The Samantha Foundation and Polestar Pilates and Rehabilitation Center, where she works as a physical therapist.
Jennifer also remains active in community organizations, serving in leadership capacities for the National Council of Jewish Women and Hadassah. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children.
