Please welcome
Jenny Remy, Child Welfare Specialist with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. Jenny was born and raised in Bixby, Okla., and she graduated from the University of Tulsa with a double major in Women's Gender Studies and Communication.
Jenny has been in the field of social work since she graduated just a year ago. She always dreamed of being a social worker and helping the families of Tulsa, however, she lost sight of that goal during college and was taking a different path until about two months prior to graduation. She accepted the job with DHS right out of college and says, "it was the best decision I have ever made."
In her spare time, Jenny loves running and is currently training for her second full marathon. She finds running to be a great stress relief.
On June 27, Jenny will be getting married. She and her fiance plan to foster children within the next few years after they settle into married life.
When asked why she is looking forward to working at the Center, she said, "
I enjoy the multidisciplinary team being in the same building to support and assist one another and the ability to learn by observation." She continued with, "
I also enjoy the diversities of the personalities that we have at the Children's Advocacy Center, as well as the comradery that everyone provides."
