There are no words to adequately express the pain or profound sense of loss we are feeling. Jen was one of the kindest, fun-loving, and inspirational women I have been fortunate enough to call my friend. Over the past 7 years we shared some of my most happy and proud moments, as well as some painful challenges. I can't imagine having gotten through graduate school without her. Jen had a way of showing up for people that made them feel safe, even when challenges felt insurmountable or things felt like they were falling apart. She had an infectious smile and laugh, and the best quirky sense of humor. I will be forever grateful for the time we spent together going on double dates to the movies, eating sushi from a conveyer belt or a happy hour special, breaking out of escape rooms, losing at penny slots, getting lost trying to find Redwoods, and sharing pictures of our fur babies.
