Jennifer is an educator and has spent most of her career as a Special Education Coordinator with the Limestone District School Board in Kingston, ON. In 2020, she moved to Waterloo and joined Shad Canada as the Director of Alternative Programs where she designs programs for youth to see themselves as changemakers. Her professional passions include early literacy, design thinking and inclusive education.

Jennifer loves being outdoors and enjoys exploring many of Waterloo Region's parks and trails. A new skill she recently picked up during the pandemic, is baking croissants from scratch - which is both an art and a science! Jennifer is a huge fan of libraries and is proud to be a member of the Waterloo Public Library board.
