Jen will show you the ropes during your first visit to PFO! She has an incredible ability to memorize movie quotes and likes to throw them into conversation frequently. She is a Colorado girl at heart, and lives here in Arizona with her husband and the youngest two of her four kids. Jen loves to travel and collects a piece of jewelry everywhere she goes so she can have that memory when she wears it.
