Board Advisor

Jennifer Powell is a mother first and foremost. She is an outstanding example of kindness, intelligence, and integrity in her home and  community. She has been given a gift as a coach to see what others may not, whether on a soccer field, in a school or helping someone prepare for their next speech. She recognizes the strengths before her and knows exactly how to make weak things strong as she leads her team to victory.
