When Jennifer stopped working to raise her children in 2001, she joined the board of Westside Children’s Center in 2008 and in 2012, she joined the Teen Line board. Jennifer returned to get her Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 2016 and is planning to sit for her LMFT licensure exam in early 2023.
