When Jennifer learned that her friend lost her son in a military training accident, she went from being grief-avoidant to becoming a grief educator, speaker and supporter.  Through customized workshops, conferences and speaking engagements, Jennifer is on a mission to exchange judgement with empathy and compassion by educating individuals and organizations on the importance of grief and mental health awareness, suicide prevention and advocating for recovery friendly workplaces. She believes "normal” is a myth and consults with organizations to break the stigma and reduce the awkwardness and discomfort these topics present. She does this work in honor of Capt. Nicholas P. "Sloppy" Losapio USMC and the crew of Swift 11, and all who choose careers to keep our country and communities safe. 

When she's not trying to normalize conversations around death and other forms of loss that cause grief, she serves the construction industry as a Vice President of Education and Workforce Development for the NH/VT chapter of a construction trade association. In this role, she facilitates leadership programs using the DISC Behavioral Assessment as a foundation. 

Jennifer's credentials include a Master's Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages with a concentration in Life Skills and Career Planning, Certified Behavioral Analyst, Leadership Training and Development, Certified Grief Educator & Coach, Construction Suicide Prevention Trainer, and Mental Health First Aid Responder and Recovery-Friendly Workplace Advocate.
