Hi, I'm Jennifer.
I am a peer support specialist in South Carolina and North Carolina. I have supported others through good times and challenges and crisis. I am a patient and good listener. I am a great advocate for others and myself. I believe in helping everyone with mental health conditions and learning and other forms of disabilities.

My recovery journey started really when I was born, constantly beating the odds. My mental health issues started when I was fourteen with a traumatic event. From that started my roller coaster journey of years of hospitalizations and crisis house visits and medications.
