Central Peer Connector
Jennifer Shanahan
Jennifer is the proud, single Mom of 2 daughters, who joined her family through public adoption. She has also fostered medically fragile children over the last 16 years. As a Registered Nurse, Jen possesses over 21 years' experience focusing on Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Telehealth and school nursing. The skills acquired from parenting children with special/medical needs and working as a nurse in the community has built Jen into a strong advocate. She has experience in FASD, Trauma, and medical needs. Jen co-facilitated a parent support group for FASD through Lutherwood, Waterloo Region. Although she has put an end to her foster/adoption journey, Jen is excited to continue pouring back into her community as a Peer Connector.
