Jen received her undergraduate degree from St. Mary’s University and her graduate degree in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lady University. She’s worked in community counseling before deciding to be a full stay at home mom. Jen first experienced Tecaboca in undergraduate school at a Marianist Leadership Program retreat. She attended and supported numerous others after. The memories and bonds formed at Tecaboca have always had a special place in her heart. Jen has since sought out community where she could in her own town, through being a member of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). She started a babysitting CO-OP in her town and was on the board of St. Augustine Learning Center where her children attended preschool. Jen and her husband Matt reside in Chattanooga, TN. A mom of three (Florence age 6, Blaine age 4, and Frances age 1), she is in the thick of life. Jen enjoys time spent with her family. She especially enjoys the community of moms she has found and the healing nature that relationships bring to a weary soul.
