Why, hello there. My name is Jenna. I was born and raised in the Hudson Valley and educated (undergrad/grad) in Philly. I am a dreamer, romantic, and overachiever. I am a wife and mama of four. I love to bite off more than I can chew and find a way to swallow it anyway—preferably with a bottle of kombucha and a smile.
I have always wanted to be an educator. After five amazing years as a full-time high school teacher, a big move and a new baby led me to explore the world of education outside of the classroom. I now work as an editor producing social studies content for an educational publisher. Currently, I am the lead editor for our diversity studies series, and have been busy researching, writing, and editing for books including Movement (Black Studies) and Voices (Ethnic Studies). In my free time, I create resources to help others discover, organize, and share their own family histories through my online blog, The Home Historian. I accept offers for consulting and project-based contracts.
