Jennifer Zank

After many years working as a nail technician in the beauty industry, I began my second career in 2015 by studying Sign Language Interpreting at Saint Paul College. My interest in accessibility and recovery led me to earn an individualized bachelor’s degree in Deaf Studies in the Recovery Community from Metropolitan State University, followed by a master’s degree from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies in 2023. Since 2021, I have worked in various treatment settings, and I have found a career that I truly love and feel I was meant to pursue.
