Jennifer has her master's degree in clinical social work from the University of Minnesota. She has loved helping individuals and families throughout her 20+ year career in county government, corrections, community non-profits, and direct practice. Together with her community partner, TCWCRG, she hopes to create a community and spaces that offer a wide range of mental and behavioral health, substance use treatment, and human service supports in a safe, equitable, inclusive, respectful, compassionate way and to nurture those in our community that have been historically marginalized and underserved. In her free time, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her dog Bodhi, being a self-proclaimed foodie, traveling the world learning about other cultures, and listening to Reggae music.
