An educator with over 18 years of experience in classroom and community education, Jen uses visual art, theater games in the style of Theatre of the Oppressed, and collaboration to craft stories that help us to connect with each other and the characters that inhabit our imaginations. Jen often roams the forests, mountains and desert with everything she needs on her back, trying to remember to move at a pace that gratifies in its slowness.
