Jenny has taught writing and literature in a range of community and academic capacities, and she continues to seek ways to bring writing opportunities to new communities. Endlessly moved by writing in all its forms, Jenny is also deeply invested in more physical kinds of movement: she is an avid runner (3x Boston Marathon Qualifier), nature devotee, yogi, and — with her enthusiasm for music and playlist curation — an experienced indoor cycling instructor.
