MEET OUR CO-FOUNDERS
The concept for Elevated Insights Assessment came to light in 2014. Jenn was embarking on her internship year in Denver, and Kate had just returned from Portland, Oregon to start her post-doctoral year. Classmates, colleagues, and friends, Kate and Jenn met to catch up. In their meeting, they passionately shared their interests around child assessment and discussed the ongoing demands for quality child evaluation services. Elevated Insights Assessment came to fruition in 2015, built from the ground up. Jenn and Kate each bring their unique skill sets to the practice and could not be prouder of the work they are doing and the business they have established.
