Co-founder of Navigating Neurodivergence

A lifelong helper, Jenny brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to her role. Jenny has over 18 years of experience working in healthcare as a Registered Nurse within the acute care system and as a faculty member within the post-secondary education system. Her most significant accomplishments come from the “school of life.” Tapping into her neurodivergence traits, such as hyperfocus, the ability to learn and process information quickly and an unparalleled level of tenacity, make Jenny the ultimate ally for your family as you navigate your neurodivergence journey.

Jenny has three daughters, one of which has a dual autism and ADHD diagnosis. After a year of “trusting the process” within the healthcare and education systems, it became clear that they were not equipped to support or even diagnose her daughter. This personal journey, coupled with her professional experience, led her to take action. Seven months later, her daughter had an ADHD and autism diagnosis and a whole team to support her. The discovery process of seeking an accurate diagnosis for her daughter led her to get her own ADHD diagnosis. This personal experience has given her a unique understanding and empathy for the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and their families.

Her tenacity, creativity, and ability to think outside the box allowed her daughter to access specialized assessments, diagnoses, and support on an impressive timeline. Jenny’s motto, “Life is a team sport,” is not just a phrase, but a guiding principle that she embodies in her role as co-founder of Navigating Neurodivergence and in her daily life. This belief in the power of teamwork to overcome challenges inspires and motivates others in their own neurodivergence journeys.
