Jen Glover

Jen obtained her Bachelor of Arts in piano performance from the University of New Hampshire and her Master of Music Therapy from Georgia College and State University and has also completed studies in music therapy and mental health counselling at Nazareth College.

Having originally moved to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2015 to serve as Raukatauri's Clinical Services Manager, Jen went on to be the Director of the Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust from 2017 to 2023.  She loved being a part of the Trust's expansion from an Auckland-only organisation to one serving four regions, and also valued watching her long-term clients grow and develop as musicians over those years.  Jen and her family moved to beautiful Waiheke Island in 2022, and she took the opportunity to work in her home community when the role of Chief Executive of the Waiheke Health Trust came up the following year.  She is grateful to remain connected with Raukatauri through service as a Trustee and plays a role in the wider music therapy community by acting as the Chair of Music Therapy New Zealand's Registration Board.
