Jen brings more than 30 years of unique experience where education leadership, management skills, mental health, and law enforcement intersect. She is currently the Director of a youth residential psychiatric treatment facility. In June 2022, she retired from her most current leadership position at Connections Learning Center, Jeffco Public School’s only alternative middle school, a challenge with a lot of promising opportunities for a safe and structured experience. Jen has been a principal and administrator in large performance and high-risk middle and high schools. Her greatest and most lasting impact has been affecting change in discipline, behavior, communication, and relationships between students and teachers.

She has studied, practiced, and taught restorative justice for more than a decade. One of the many rewards of her work is watching the positive results of RJ practices significantly change the culture and climate of schools. A sought-after fixture at RJ-related conferences, Jen, with partner Jen Gallegos, has been called to implement RJ programs in school districts throughout the U.S.

“Seeing the walls built up by students turn soft and ultimately disappear is what drives me to continue the work of RJ.”

Before education, Jen was a Lakewood Police officer. She was an important member of the SWAT Team, serving as a first responder during the tragic events at Columbine High School in 1999.
