Born and raised in Redding, California, Jennifer Klein’s journey in O&P and healthcare has taken her not only around the country but also around the world. After completing her bachelor’s degree in O&P at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, she travelled north to St. Paul, Minnesota, for her orthotic and prosthetic residencies at Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. She remained at Gillette until 2012 when her professional journey took her even farther afield, as she left on a two-year sabbatical to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a Peace Corps volunteer in Ethiopia. While her work in Ethiopia represents a brief departure from direct O&P care, it nevertheless helps her to continue in her professional goals of improving healthcare and bringing awareness and understanding to health issues.
