Her Mission
Jenny is dedicated to empowering youth—especially neurodivergent students—through real-world transition programs and community-based opportunities. Rooted in her own lived experience of growing up unheard and undiagnosed, she now creates spaces where students can develop job skills, confidence, self-advocacy, and a clear sense of identity.
As the creator of Dragon Brew and founder of Next Step Coffee Co., Jenny blends experience-based transition practices with compassion, creativity, and high expectations. Her mission is straightforward: to ensure the value of every student's voice, even before they reach adulthood.
Her Impact
Through her work as an educator, author, and advocate, Jenny has supported countless students, families, and educators. Her unique combination of neurodivergent lived experience and professional expertise allows her to connect with individuals who have felt misunderstood or underestimated.
She champions the belief that late bloomers are still bloomers—and that unheard voices deserve platforms, community, and opportunities to lead. Jenny's programs and speaking engagements help others rewrite their narratives and step into their power.
"Jenny's ability to empower students is unmatched. She builds confidence, skills, and community in ways that change lives. Her programs help students discover who they are and who they can become."
