She grew up with four brothers and one sister so needless to say, she has special survival skills that were acquired during those years! Jenny graduated from the University of Utah with her BS in Family and Consumer Studies. She has always felt the importance of family and the ability to take care of them, no matter what disasters may come, whether big or small.
