According to Gates, “My parents have been such a significant support for me in pursuing my dreams not only financially, but emotionally, whether that would be going to medical school, which I’m going to start this year, or whether it’s in the equestrian world and helping me balance and figure out whatever I want to do with my life.”

It is no wonder that the amazing support system paved the way for her to go a long way in life.

Gates and her hobbies

It is no surprise that Jennifer Gates loves her family so much. However, even though she loves human connection, downtime is equally important for her.

“I’m interested in a variety of topics, so books have been a great way for me to explore those during my gap year,” she said. Gates also revealed that she is a big lover of food, and also bakes in her spare time.

Gates stated that “Another thing that I like doing in my spare time, because I’m a big foodie, is baking. I love baking… also a nice way to show appreciation for the people around you, so I tend to bake a lot of things and then take them to the barn or to family and friends.”
