Jaysen Ens
Family Services Coordinator, Alexandria
Jaysen serves as the part-time Family Services Coordinator to help families thrive in the United States. The experiences of living in the Middle East for two years (where he met his wife, Bethany) and going through the US immigration process have given him perspective on the challenges that many families have when settling into a new country and culture. He enjoys coming alongside families as they make the US their home.
