Jenn is part of a multicultural American family from the mid-Atlantic states and Central America. She grew up curious about culture and language.

She attended Pontifícia Universidad Católica while in Rio. She is conversant in both Spanish and Portuguese.
Jenn has a creative spark that she brings to all facets of life. She studied art and design from grade school through college.
