Jennifer has been in the healthcare field since 2011. She graduated with a bachelors in nursing from the University of Florida and from University of South Alabama with her masters. She worked 7 years in labor and delivery before becoming a family nurse practitioner working in Urgent Care settings. Since the COVID shut down and a move from Florida to Tennessee she has been working as a stay at home mother to four kids and creating a side business selling apparel and gifts for Birth Workers.  Despite all the career changes her true passion still remains with all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a special love for VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). As a labor and delivery nurse, it was her mission to help her patients find and maintain their voice and autonomy during the laboring process. In her spare time she enjoys getting the kids, ranging from 8yrs to 1 yr old, out of the house. Their favorite places are parks and playgrounds around beautiful Knoxville TN. She is a lover of coffee, espresso, and chocolate and is known to stash oreos away from the kids to enjoy in peace after they are all in bed.
