Jennifer Feeney

Jennifer Feeney has a Bachelors in Psychology from Asbury University. She was blessed to be a stay at home mom for 17 years and is now excited to turn a new chapter and utilize her gifts and passions with Pure Abilities. Jennifer was a small group leader at church with a group of girls starting from 5th grade until they graduated high school meeting regularly at her house where strong relationships were formed. This past year she has been doing PAC for another company having the privilege to care for her good friend’s 13 year old autistic son. She has also been volunteering at her church on their special needs team on Sunday mornings getting to know several children during this time. It was these two experiences that formed an epiphany for her ….“ This is where I belong!” She has a passion for helping people particularly those with disabilities. For Jennifer, it is about establishing the relationship, listening , learning, observing and coming alongside the individual’s family and network of people to add value to his/her life with steadfastness, compassion and purpose . She has been married to her husband Trevor for 22 years and they have 3 wonderful children. Words can’t describe how much family means to her and she is so grateful for them. Jennifer is high energy to say the least, so naturally, she is a fitness and outdoors enthusiast. She loves biking, working out and hiking. Her second home is the gym or the Monon Trail. Jennifer loves to bake, cook & read historical fiction or murder mysteries but what is most important about Jennifer is her faith which is the cornerstone to everything else in her life.
