Jennifer Kramer

• Director of entertainment and special events, Navy Pier
• Age: 43
• From: Wauconda, Illinois
• Lives in: Old Town

Kramer is as Chicago as it gets: The Second City alum heads the events team at Navy Pier, volunteers at Old St. Pat’s, hangs out at Butch McGuire’s, and is a die-hard Sox, Bears, and Blackhawks fan. She’s also president of the board of the city’s Special Olympics chapter.

Her type: Extroverts with an above-average sense of humor. “Whether you’re sarcastic or not, you have to be able to laugh at what goes on in life,” she says.

Take her to: “Anything super Chicagocentric—a ball game, a walk on the lakefront, out for pizza or Mexican food.”
