Jennifer Edmonds

Born and raised in Alberta, Jennifer moved to Camrose County six years ago and quickly became an active member of the community. With a strong educational background in finance and accounting, she built an 18-year career as a Financial Planner before deciding to leave the corporate sector to focus on charitable work.

Jennifer joined Habitat for Humanity Camrose in November 2022 as Finance Manager, bringing exceptional expertise in financial planning, accounting, and tax management. Her dedication and leadership saw her take on expanded responsibilities, covering both Finance Manager and Executive Director roles in 2025. Her appointment to Executive Director recognizes her deep commitment to Habitat’s mission and her proven ability to lead the organization forward.

Outside of her work with Habitat, Jennifer is a passionate supporter of the Camrose Animal Shelter and continues to contribute her time and skills to causes that make a positive impact in the community.
