Jennifer Allen

Jennifer joined KidSafe's financial and administrative team in 2009.  

Prior to that, Jennifer worked with accounting firms, many years as Executive Director of another non-profit society, and has also worked as Administrative Coordinator of a Professional Association of Collaborative Lawyers, Psychologists, and Financial Specialists.

Jennifer concentrated in Philosophy, Psychology, and Business via a Bachelor of Arts degree at Vancouver's Simon Fraser University.  

Then she earned her Certified Professional Bookkeeper's designation in 2013, and to support her role at KidSafe, was certified in eTapestry database fundamentals in 2016.

Having raised her family in East Vancouver, Jennifer was fascinated to find out about the important work KidSafe was doing for children at her daughter's school.  As someone who'd always preferred to work on the prevention side of things, KidSafe was the perfect organization for Jennifer to work with to help provide children a strong, healthy start.
