Jennifer brings her decades of front office business acumen and natural relationship skills to drive sales and enhance brand awareness to the Home Instead Westchester team.

Upon departure from the business world, Jennifer's focus became her two children and her most important job as a mother. Her desire to serve her community resulted in her place on numerous charitable committees and boards. Jennifer has positioned her next career move by combining both facets of her life to contribute to Home Instead Westchester.

Jennifer's caring demeanor and desire to help others, coupled with her business background are a winning combination to cultivate business synergies and deliver compassionate in-home care to those who need it most. The ultimate reason Jennifer committed to an in-home care career was seeing the positive impact it had on her 100-year-old grandmother and keeping her happy in her home.

For Jennifer, "it's personal."
