Jenna relocated to New York in 2009 to assume the role of a technology reporter at the esteemed New York Times.

Hailing from Virginia, Jenna pursued her undergraduate studies in biology and anthropology at the University of Virginia. Her academic background in science significantly contributed to her keen interest in information technology, infrastructure, and the analytical study of systems and their development.

Jenna confidently embraced tech culture despite not fitting the stereotypical “geek” mold. As she delved deeper, her fascination grew with how the Internet, machines, and software influence our perceptions of ourselves, society, and relationships.

But lo and behold, as she perused her “Started from the bottom” saga, Jenna stumbled into the world of waitressing, where the secrets of the industry unfolded before her very eyes. "I swear, I learned more about adulting in a restaurant than in all my years of schooling," Jenna declared with a twinkle in her eye. Her story hit me like a ton of bricks, urging me to chase my wildest dreams, even if they sound as crazy as a unicorn in a suit.

Exciting news! Jenna is unveiling a whole new side of herself through her writing! She has just launched an amazing project on Medium called "Everybody Sexts."
