Jen Ibarra
Monterey Ambassador

Jen was born and raised in Utah, and has lived on the beautiful Central Coast of California since 1998. She and her husband have raised four children, and are loving their new role as grandparents. When Jen’s first child turned one, she made her first decorated cake. From then on it was tradition, and she made every birthday cake for all four of her kids (along with many other children who needed one).

Jen finds joy in spending time with her family, serving in her community, and planning parties and events for family and friends. She feels blessed to have worked in special education for the past 12 years. From numerous experiences, she has recognized that many children do not live in an environment where they feel loved and of worth. She is grateful to be helping at-risk children and youth realize that they are cared for and valued.
