Jen Drelick, Practice Manager

Jen officially joined Rejuvenations in 2022. However, her involvement with the business dates back much further. Daughter to Rejuvenations’ owner Karen Drelick, Jen watched, and sometimes helped, her mom build Rejuvenations from the ground up.

Jen participated in Rejuvenations’ events since the beginning stages of the business. Staying up all night at the Relay for Life, sitting the booth at the Stratham Fair, or greeting people at local craft fairs, she was always at hand to welcome people with a smile. Through high school, Jen started helping in the office as well, covering the front desk during the yearly winter specials and over summer vacations.  

After high school, Jen attended Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island. She graduated in 2013, and pursued a career in baking for 11 years until deciding to change course to rejoin the Rejuvenations’ team.

Now she has found her place back at the desk, but with a new position at Rejuvenations. As the Practice Manager, Jen is the authority on scheduling, checkout, gift certificates and other client-related activities. She oversees daily operations, client relations, bookkeeping and is the overall go-to person for staff questions.

“I just want to make people happy. It was why I originally chose baking as a career, and its why I am here now.”  

You can still find Jen baking cakes, spending time with her children, hiking, swimming or just enjoying life as it comes her way. Her happy-go-lucky attitude and love for greeting everyone with a smile and kindness makes her a perfect fit to the Rejuvenations’ team.
