Jenny grew up in rural Minnesota, spending most of her childhood engaged in various 4-H programs – ranging from raising chickens and rabbits to leading fundraising initiatives as a state ambassador and planning summer camp activities as a lead counselor. Community engagement has been a thread throughout the rest of her life.
She made her way to Gustavus Adolphus College where she spent four years serving on the Campus Activities Board planning events for the student body. She graduated with a degree in Business Management and Strategic Communications. Her career in events management has focused on non-profits, most recently at the Compass Housing Alliance and Phinney Neighborhood Association.
In her spare time, you can find her reading, weightlifting, and listening to podcasts and audiobooks at 3x speed. Jenny moved to Seattle in 2016 and joined Long Live the Kings in the fall of 2024.
