I had the privilege of working with Jen Slusser-MacTernan in several applications of restorative justice. Jen is not only talented but gifted in helping people heal and grow into their better selves. She is bright and articulate - her curriculum design is engaging, empowering, and brings results! Her ability to communicate at deep levels is quite extraordinary. I am happy to say with confidence that if you have an opportunity to work with and partner with Jen, you will be happy you did so.

I've worked with Jen Slusser-MacTernan on a project that was initially outside her comfort zone, yet close to her heart. What I learned from her was far more than anticipated. She is passionate, voracious, meticulous, and focused. I have no doubt that Jen will continue to give herself and instructional skillset to causes she cares about. Through words and stories, humor, communication, and education, Jen lives her best life with hope to see others do the same. In a word, inspiring.
