Additionally

Before joining Legacy, Jennifer’s 27-year career consisted of human resources and operations for a Fortune 500 company and within a government agency.  In 2014, her heart strings pulled her toward a more holistic and healing field.  While training to become a yoga and prenatal yoga instructor, she was motivated to change career paths.  Jennifer has also served in a Regional Leadership role for a Georgia based Community Service Organization working with DFCS and impoverished communities providing mental health therapy.
 
Jennifer and her husband spend their leisure time hiking, kayaking, enjoying the beach, staying off the beaten path while traveling, gardening, and home renovations.
