Jennifer Rietjens

Assistant Executive Director

Jennifer is a compassionate and caring individual who always loved being around the elderly, helping and learning from them. Though she didn’t see herself in her current role, she admired her grandparents, who taught her the values of hard work and respect for others. Since she was 10 years old, Jennifer aspired to be a nurse. When she’s not working, she is happiest being at home with her family and friends. In her spare time, Jennifer enjoys shopping, having bonfires and simply hanging out with her friends. Her personal motto is “Never take life for granted.”
