My job responsibilities
Jenn is the owner of Nations Traffic Safety School, which she operates with her father, Rick. Together, they specialize in state-certified defensive driving courses for drivers of all ages. Her focus is on improving road safety by addressing the impact of stress, sleep, and decision-making on driving behaviors. Jenn collaborates with county safety teams, uses data-driven insights, and participates in state and local initiatives to promote safer driving practices.
Why I joined the Coalition
As a mother of two teenage daughters and someone often asked by parents for guidance on helping teens navigate getting their licenses, I have seen firsthand the gaps in driver education. Many young adults have shared that they learned more from my in-person defensive driving courses than from traditional driver’s education. This motivated me to join the Coalition to bring my passion for driver safety into a space with like-minded professionals who are working to improve the education and resources available to teens, helping to reduce collisions and fatalities.
Interests outside of work
I am passionate about photography and love capturing meaningful moments. Whether traveling with my family or watching the sunrise at the beach, I value creating lasting memories together.
Favorite song as a teenager
I was a band kid and did not have one favorite song, but I enjoyed boy bands and iconic 1980s hits.
First car
Two-door Saturn coupe.
One tip for new teen drivers
Take driver’s education and any additional driving classes you can to build your confidence behind the wheel. Driving is one of the most important skills you will learn as a teen and something you will rely on throughout your life. Understanding how daily habits such as managing stress and getting enough sleep affect both your health and your driving will help you make safer choices on the road.
