Jen moved from an isolated mountain in California to Seattle in 2016 to work with Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission in their recovery program for women and children. She began attending Quest Church that same year and it has helped shape her faith in new and exciting ways, specifically toward justice for all people. She has a Bachelor of Science in Christian Ministry from Arizona Christian University, and she has used that knowledge over the years for outreach and discipleship with populations ranging from jr highers to homeless and addiction ministries. Moving to Seattle meant achieving a lifelong dream of owning a pet hedgehog, and there are few things Jen enjoys more than a cup of coffee and a word or number puzzle.
