A former attorney, Jennifer earned her law degree from the Emory University School of Law, a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Duke University, and most recently a Master’s Degree in Christian Spirituality and Spiritual Direction from the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University of Chicago. Jennifer’s core calling and passion is helping people come to know and experience themselves as God’s beloved, and to grow and deepen their relationship with God and with God’s community.

Jennifer and her husband Phil have three adult children who all were baptized and raised here at CUMC – Evan, a 3rd year medical student at UVA; Andrew, a music educator and member of the CUMC praise band; and James, a second-year at UVA focusing on psychology. Jennifer enjoys contemplative walking/hiking, reading, and making large vats of soup to share with family and neighbors.
