Jenni Scott
My name is Jenni Scott and I have been with Fresh Start since September of 2007. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-madison with a major in Psychology. These four years of education led me to realize I was headed in the right direction. I became fascinated in the mental health field and wished to continue my education with a broad degree that would enable me to work with a variety of populations. I decided to stay at UW-madison and went on to receive my Master of Social Work degree.

While in graduate school I had the opportunity to work at two excellent field placements under the supervision of very knowledgeable supervisors. My first placement was at Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center where I worked with emotionally disturbed adolescent males who were involved with the Juvenile Correctional system. I gained experience co-facilitating treatment groups and being part of a treatment team. My second field placement was at the Serenity Residential Treatment Center. Here I held the role of a Student Therapist and conducted individual, group, and family therapy. I worked with a great group of girls who were survivors of sexual and physical abuse. I learned more from these young women than I ever expected to.

I am excited to begin my career as a Treatment Foster Care Worker, and plan to have a special focus on the Therapeutic services I provide as I am working toward my LCSW. In my free time I like to workout, roller blade, ski, watch movies and spend time with family and friends.
