JENNI PATTERSON is the Access and Enrollment Team Leader and has been an Amorem team member for nearly 21 years.

ACCORDING TO JENNI...
—What I love most about my job is being able to fulfill my mission of helping and serving others during one of the most fragile times of their lives. I also have the opportunity to work alongside some really wonderful people who share the same mission.
—My first job was a cashier at Harris Teeter.
—My favorite way to spend a day off is being at home with my family and three cats...cooking/baking or in a basketball gym coaching and watching games.
—What makes me quirky? I do not have social media. I do not watch the news (unless it's something good). I still own an Android, and my favorite phrase is "What in the tarnation!"

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MEANINGFUL WORK where compassion truly matters, AMOREM would love for you to consider joining our team... www.amoremsupport.org/careers
