While typically keeping busy thanks to her knack for crafts (particularly sewing and reupholstering furniture) and firm belief that all celebrations deserve a freshly baked cake, Jenna happily spends her free time thumbing through books in a local coffee shop, or if she’s lucky, enjoying the outdoors hiking or on the water.

Just recently making her way back to the Midwest after living amongst the ocean and forests in Charleston, South Carolina, she’s glad to be back amongst friends and family – but is admittedly a bit nervous to face Chicago winters again. Jenna holds both a Bachelor and Master of Architecture from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Jenna’s pretty sure her dog Macy would beat any human in a snoring contest.
