Jennifer Murphy
Board Member
My name is Jennifer. I have been a healthcare worker for approximately ten years, six of which have been specifically in the pediatric hematology/oncology department. These children hold such a warm place in my heart. Witnessing the unbelievable strength and resilience of these amazing people and being a part of their journey has been such an honor. They have taught me about patience, compassion and how to overcome some of the negative outcomes of treatment. They are lessons that I carried on for my own journey.
With great honor, compassion, empathy and loyalty, I look forward to being a part of Elijah’s Entourage, Inc. I hope I can provide the same strength, positivity and compassion that was, and still, is given to me by these amazing children.
