About Jen

Jen lives with her loving and supportive husband in San Diego, California. With a background in nursing, particularly in hospice care, she’s long been dedicated to helping others.

However, her journey took a different turn when she was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension in 2005. Rather than letting this challenge deter her, she found a new purpose: sharing her experiences to inspire others facing similar battles.

As a forum moderator and columnist for Pulmonary Hypertension News, Jen aspires to bring hope to the PH community. Her volunteer work with the Pulmonary Hypertension Association further reflects her commitment to empower those affected by this life-altering condition.

Reminder: You don’t have to go through this journey alone. Let’s be PH friends: Together, we can fight PH.
