Jen is a BC-based Indigenous Behaviour Consultant. She is Métis/Cree on her dad’s side and English on her mum’s. Her ancestral lands are located in northern Manitoba and Ontario. She currently resides on the traditional unceded territories of the Kwantlen and Katzie First Nations in Maple Ridge. Jen is passionate about incorporating the Indigenous Way of Knowing into her practice with children who are First Nations, Métis, or Inuit, and being an advocate for decolonizing therapeutic practices and systems we work within in Canada.

​

Jen has completed her Master of Education in Digital, Online and Distance Education at Athabasca University, her Applied Behaviour Analysis coursework through Florida Institute of Technology and is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA). She considers herself a lifelong learner, with a current focus in listening to the neurodivergent community, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and trauma-informed practices. Jen’s approach places an emphasis on a wholistic framework, parent-led supports, active collaboration, and naturalistic and child-led teaching.

​

Jen has worked supporting neurodivergent children and adults since 2012 in a variety of roles and settings including home-based programs, clinic-based programs, in schools, residential settings, adult day programs, sports programs and supported child development programs both in BC and in the Northwest Territories. Jen provides services in the areas of the Lower Mainland, the lower Fraser Valley, mid-southern part of Vancouver Island and online.

Jen has done work with the BC-ABA Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee and sat as the Student Representative on the BC-ABA Executive Board. In her spare time Jen enjoys yoga, nature, cooking, making art and spending time with her family and animals.
