Jennifer HawkinsDirector of Partnership Development Jennifer “Jen” Hawkins fulfills a role critical to criminal justice entities seeking a digital solution to population engagement and care management. From 2001 to 2020, Jen managed publicly-funded programs aimed at connecting vulnerable populations to physical and behavioral health and community-based services. Jen’s work in this area spanned over the non-profit, public and private sectors in Arizona, as she managed multi-million dollar grant programs, and led cross-disciplinary efforts to improve services for low-income populations. Since 2012, Jen has spent her career focused solely on the intersection of health care and Arizona’s criminal justice system, serving as a leader and advocate for justice-involved adults and their successful community reentry. Most notably, Jen spearheaded the first pre-release AHCCCS application program within Arizona’s largest county detention center.

Jen’s charitable background began in 2000 and includes hands-on volunteer work for Valley of the Sun United Way, Sun Sounds of Arizona, Chandler and Phoenix Police Departments, Parents of Murdered Children and St. Mary’s Food Bank.

Jen also served on the Maricopa County Smart Justice Council from 2014 to 2018 and gives countless personal hours of friendship and support to incarcerated friends within Arizona’s state prison system.
