About our Speaker

Jennifer Russell is a Member of the Wyoming Friends Meeting.  She is also the Treasurer and a former Recording Clerk for WFM.  Jennifer was raised in the Roman Catholic Church but never felt at home there.  She came to the Religious Society of Friends thanks to a quiz on the Beliefnet website and is still learning (after ten years) what it means to be a Quaker.

By profession and personality, Jennifer is an engineer (in the water resources field).  She worked in the consulting field for 26yrs and currently works in the construction division of the Wyoming Water Development Office, which funds many of the agricultural and municipal water projects in the State, and is the technical advisor for the State Revolving Fund program (EPA funded).

Having grown up all over Kansas (GO CATS!) and Nebraska, Jennifer has lived in Cheyenne for 26yrs and started attending Meeting for Worship with the Cheyenne group for approximately 10 yrs ago (since just after her 40th birthday).  She’s been married for 28yrs to Chris (also an engineer but the kind that “drives” trains).  Jennifer and Chris have no children of their own but have hosted a dozen high school exchange students, most for a full school year.
