I'm Jen! Originally from Washington, I now live in Newcastle upon Tyne with my husband, our daughter and cat.

Outside of my own creative practice, I currently work for a local charity facilitating workshops for family carers of disabled children, and have previously held a role as the Creative Lead for another youth mental health charity.​​ 

​

I'm a big fan of co-production, and have experience working with children and young people, their families and carers, and neurodivergent adults. My facilitation work tends to focus on themes of community, place and using creativity to aid our wellbeing. 
I have qualifications and training in equality & diversity, understanding CYP mental health, counselling skills and children and adult safeguarding, as well as a full and current DBS check.​​​​​​​
