Over the course of her career, Jen has practiced in urgent care, occupational medicine, primary care, and corporate wellness, building a particular strength in trauma-informed, whole-person care. Her clinical background includes women’s health, HIV PrEP/PEP and gender-affirming care, management of acute illness and injury, as well as complex chronic conditions. She brings a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to every patient she serves.
In 2021, she was recognized with the Mercy Award for outstanding performance and community impact, and in 2026 she was honored with an Excellence Award from CVS.
Outside of work, Jen shares her life with her husband, their adult children and their rescue animals. She is a certified yoga instructor, she can be found hiking, biking, paddling, reading, or working on her metal art in her free time.
