Jennifer Pagan

Jenn is a former policy analyst who chose to leave her day job in exchange for the adventures of medical family life. Today she is a wife, mother to three wonder-filled kids, cultivator of beauty and friendship, and founder of the current Little Rock chapter of Side By Side.

Jenn called California home for over 20 years; it’s where she learned to love the ocean and mountains and travel. It’s where she met and married her husband, Jon, with whom she has spent the last fifteen years living all over the country. Each of her children were born in a different state—if you ask them where their family is from, you will be met with a confusing and lengthy response.

Jenn loves Jesus and loves discussing all things theological and life-giving. She also loves the arts, the outdoors (during the wintry months—Yes to fireplaces! Yes to leg-warmers! Yes to tea! NO to sweltering heat and humidity!), and attending to the plants in her tiny garden. More than anything, Jenn and her family love to invite people into their home for a great meal. She wants people to experience love in a tangible, meaningful way. It is for this reason that Jenn revived Side By Side-Little Rock—so that medical wives could be nourished, mind, body and soul, by an understanding and encouraging community.
