Jennica is passionate about creating multigenerational communities of care that center young people, especially young people with marginalized identities, those going through life's transitions and those experiencing mental health challenges.

Her spiritual practices include learning things from her flower and medicinal herb garden, sitting with her buddhist meditation sangha, practicing anti-oppressive parenting, and being a total nerd for relationship dynamics.
