When she relocated to the East Coast, Jennifer got involved in volunteering for Habitat. Her volunteer service inspired her to become an AmeriCorps service member, where she served in the Dover, Delaware ReStore. Upon finishing her AmeriCorps service, Jennifer joined the Dover Habitat as the Homeowner Services Director.
“Basically, I fell in love with Habitat’s Mission,” says Jennifer. “I am so impressed by the families who persevere to become homeowners, and by what homeownership means to families and communities.”
Jennifer has been with Nevada County Habitat for about two months and she has hit the ground running. Street of Dreams will return live in September, and Jennifer is working to make this a wildly successful event.
When not at work, Jennifer is pursuing a Masters of Public Policy from Arizona State University, and loves spending time with her family, which includes two boys, 12 and 14 years old. “They are like night and day – so different,” she says. “We work to find activities that everyone will enjoy. Right now that includes trying different food trucks!”
