A commercial lending pro with strong ties to the area, Jennifer Gardella is Vice President, Commercial Lending, in Hyperion Bank’s Philadelphia Banking Office. She has community banking experience in the Philadelphia region, specializing in real estate lending, financing both local construction projects and long-term commercial investment rental properties. In addition to the Philadelphia regional real estate market, Jennifer has worked for years with customers in New Jersey shore communities and has an extensive SBA lending background.

“I enjoy working within the community I live and play in, and it is especially satisfying to be a small part of the growth and revival of so many Philadelphia neighborhoods through past and current financing projects,” Jennifer says. The South Jersey native (Barrington) attended Camden Community College for Business Administration and recently moved back to South Jersey from King of Prussia.

Prior to her banking career, Jennifer gained management and sales experience in retail – both national and boutique – and in the medical field. Away from work (and sometimes while WFH), she can be found enjoying time with her companion and confidant, Riley, a 3-year-old black lab. She also enjoys spending time with her large extended family, all of whom live in the area, and especially spoiling her niece and nephew.

Fun fact: Jennifer firmly believes gnocchi is the world’s most perfect food and would appreciate knowing where you find your fave gnocchi.
