Jenny brings a wealth of experience to The Autistic Mentor. She has 18+ years of experience as an educator, most recently as a Social Emotional Learning Specialist. She is also the proud mom of three children, one of whom is autistic.

Jenny’s education and background are in special education and speech-language pathology, so she has always had a heart for young people with challenges. As a Social Emotional Learning Specialist, Jenny is an experienced socioemotional and executive functioning coach.

Jenny has been married for 18 years. She and her husband have a busy household with three kids (one each in elementary, middle school, and high school) and one energetic dog. In her spare time, Jenny enjoys nature walks, gardening, and listening to her favorite books and podcasts.

Jenny has two children of her own with additional needs: a high school student with an intellectual disability and an elementary student with autism. Her struggles to get her kids’ needs met in the public school system opened her eyes to the lack of support available to students and parents. Jenny aims to partner with, empower, and support autistics and their parents. She provides services to meet each person's unique needs, including executive functioning coaching, parent support, and education advocacy.
