Welcome Jennifer Vickery!

Please join us in welcoming Jennifer Vickery to the team as our new Western Regional Coordinator!

Jennifer has a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Sciences from The University of Georgia where she majored in Family and Consumer Sciences Education with a certificate in English as a Second Language. She is currently a graduate student at Lenoir-Rhyne University studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Prior to joining the North Carolina Preconception Health Campaign (NCPHC) team, she worked for Goodwill Northwest North Carolina for two years where she developed the Goodwill Girls Empowerment Group. The group’s mission aimed to provide a safe place for at-risk female teenagers to explore issues they faced on a daily basis.

After attending a Folic Acid Community Ambassador (FACA) Training with the empowerment group, she discovered the mission of the Campaign encompassed many of her own interests and values. Jennifer is beyond delighted to officially be part of the NCPHC team. She is passionate about the health and wellbeing of women across the globe, but especially women living in Western North Carolina, a place she is extremely proud to call home.

In her spare time Jennifer enjoys spending time in the mountains of Western North Carolina hiking, road biking, and camping.
