Jennie Fitzpatrick

More about Jennie: I joined the Sex Sense team 12 years ago and no two days have ever been the same. When I first joined Sex Sense I worked in 2 clinics per week, I now work in 4 clinics and 1 drop-in per week. I feel proud that I have been part of Sex Senses evolution and I know it will continue to grow. I love working with young people and it is the biggest factor of what makes my job so rewarding.

I love driving although my husband would say I am not good at it, one of the best things is blasting my ear drums with my favourite tunes! I have four children and I have been known to embarrass them when talking about sex but on the whole they think my job is great too. I love animals and have several pets, my hobbies include playing darts and watching 2 of my children play Ice Hockey.
