The scope of her work includes family studies; health promotion; communications and public relations; collaboration, coalition building and community mobilization; behaviour change; and community and organizational development.  Through 17 years of management experience in the public health and post-secondary education systems, she gained extensive project management and leadership experience, from local to international in scope.

Jennifer also gained leadership experience on non-profit boards, giving 30 volunteer years as a director and officer on a variety of local and provincial boards such as The Alberta Public Health Association, the Alberta Press Council, and Lethbridge College.  Raising her family in Lethbridge, she was also an active volunteer for groups such as the Rotary Club of Lethbridge and The University of Lethbridge Senate.  Jennifer currently lives and works in Cochrane.
