Jen came to Frederick in 1996 as an #Americorps volunteer with the Religious Coalition. Always loved the Frederick community…returned to the area and has been on the staff of the Mental Health Association since 2002, with the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program. Jen is always eager to learn more about how communities can help children in foster care to find safe, permanent homes.

Jen and her family recently welcomed a new member by adoption. Jen loves church choir and lots of music, cross stitching, and encouraging her own and other people’s children to be themselves. Oh, and Christmas and baseball, the two halves of the calendar!
