When she was a little girl, she aspired to be Princess Leia. Then as she grew up she wanted to be a daughter of the planet Krypton and then in 3rd or 4th grade, she decided she wanted to be an attorney.

She was involved in several activities and societies at the college: President- AIESEC; Secretary- Beta Alpha Psi (honors accounting fraternity); Treasurer- Association of Accounting Students; Teammate- Mizzou Racquetball Club; Violist- University of Missouri Orchestra.

After law school, Bukowsky spent a year clerking for Hon.

Mary R. Russell at the Missouri Supreme Court and assisted the Court with handling of applications for transfer, petitions for extraordinary writs, and with writing the opinions of the Court.

During her clerkship after law school, she chose to turn down a big law firm job and instead applied to be a Public Defender.

She worked for the Missouri State Public Defender in the Columbia trial office for over three years.

During that time, she handled a very large caseload and obtained a lot of experience handling jury trials, plea bargaining, and handling contested hearings to suppress evidence, to defend against probation revocations, and more.

Her caseload included several murder cases.

As a result of Jennifer efforts of being a great public defender, she was honored to be chosen as the 2015 recipient of the Missouri State Public Defender System’s "Director’s Award.”

At the State level, Jennifer was appointed and serves as Council Member to the Missouri Bar’s Criminal Practice & Procedure Committee.

She also is one of the five criminal defense attorneys to be appointed (along with five prosecutors) to the Drafting Subcommittee of the Criminal Law Committee, which was formed at the request of the Missouri Legislature to draft an expungement bill which will hopefully be passed next session.

Jennifer served on the Missouri Bar’s Criminal Code Revision Subcommittee from approximately 2010-2013.

On the national level, Jennifer is involved with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and was appointed to serve on the “State Legislative Affairs” committee of that organization.

Leading up to the 2016 Presidential elections she became a Delegate for Rand Paul as she is a great supporter. She defended his ideas at conventions specially when the ideas from each candidate became heated. She chose Paul as she did not have the foresight of being a part of the Donald Trump campaign during its early days. Eventually, she did became a Delegate for Trump.

This is an ongoing struggle for me.

I delegate as many household tasks as possible, I try to avoid bringing work home, and I don’t like to schedule consecutive evenings away from my kids.

Her favorite places to go out in her neighborhood of Columbia are Mizzou Arena, Sophia’s, Tellers, Ragtag.

We hang out with our neighbors.

Brock and Tammy live next door, and we have other close friends in the neighborhood.

Also, Brant and I go on date nights when we eat out and then stay at the restaurant playing cards and drinking wine.
