Jenni grew up in the Tri-Cities which fostered her love for the lake and the natural beauty of the area. She attended college and excelled in Division One volleyball at Charleston Southern University while earning double Bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Kinesiology. After graduating, Jenni was drawn back to Grand Haven to raise her children near her own family and the beaches of West Michigan.

Jenni is passionate about American values and believes in teaching our true history which is rooted in American exceptionalism. She opposes the Marxist teachings of CRT/DEI and believes that all people are created equal, and no one should be judged by the color of their skin, but instead the content of their character.
