Registered Nurse, BSN
Jen earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at the University of Texas, Arlington in 2010. Along with her role at ROOTs, she works as an emergency room nurse. Prior to that, she worked at an ICU caring for medical, surgical, trauma, and psychiatric patients. Unlike the clinical settings she has worked in, ROOTs allows her to, not only address and give treatment, but to follow through with the clients and their physical needs. Throughout her career, Jen has seen how interconnected physical and mental health are. She is passionate about teaching people to care for themselves and to create a space that allows themselves to heal. Jen is excited about working at ROOTs because she believes it is an environment that inspires healing.
