About Jennifer
Jennifer Palmer:
With almost 20 years as a Registered Nurse in Missouri and Kansas and as a parent of a child with a disability, I have a unique perspective regarding personal relationships, hygiene, sexual health and risk of abuse issues. What started off as a parental desire to support my own child has combined with my professional experiences to fuel the fire that lights my passion for advocating for those with disabilities to have healthy, meaningful relationships with those they love.
