JENNIFER MANTLE, a lifelong Missourian, transitioned to the J-School from MU Health Care after working there for 15 ½ years. She has served in many departments as a Business Support Specialist for Dining & Nutrition, Safety, Emergency Management, Patient Transport, Hospitality, Valet, the Mail Room, Engineering Services, and Planning Design & Construction. Some of her talents include administrator for Smartsheet (she would encourage you to Google it — it is AMAZING), trainer, professional shopper (and personal!), water aerobics instructor (Aqua Kickboxing, anyone?), Microsoft Office Suite expert, accounting, Queen of Accessories (empress seemed too extra), and a fashionista. Either good or bad, she cannot leave the house unless everything is matching down to her socks. Some of her hobbies include decorating, cooking, baking, and anything dog related.

Some fun facts include going on five overseas mission trips to two places in Haiti, Ireland & England, Taiwan, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines. Jennifer graduated in 2023 with a BS in Cross-Cultural Ministries from Central Christian College of the Bible. Jennifer is also the fourth cousin to Mickey Mantle.
