Jennifer Cash joined Sherman Carter Barnhart Architects in 2006 and has built a nationally respected reputation focused on high-performance, resilient learning environments for K–12 clients. She is widely recognized for her expertise in Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction and for guiding school districts through complex decisions related to durability, energy performance, life-cycle cost, and disaster resiliency. Known for her ability to translate technical rigor into clear, actionable solutions, Jennifer partners closely with boards, administrators, and communities to align educational goals, sustainability objectives, and budget realities. A frequent regional and national speaker, her portfolio includes Kentucky’s most recent Zero Energy school, as well as multiple Zero Energy Emerging and Zero Energy Achievable projects—reinforcing her commitment to design that is fiscally responsible, environmentally forward-looking, and built to last.
Jennifer earned her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Kentucky College of Design. She is a licensed architect in Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri, and is a member of the American Institute of Architects and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.
Outside of work, she and her husband enjoy hands-on projects around their home and spending time with their two daughters.
