- About Me
- I grew up in Warrenton, VA (no one seems to know where this is), went to college at Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!), and got my Masters in Theological Studies at the Notre Dame Graduate School of Christendom College (I know that’s a mouth full). My name, Jennessa, is not Italian- it’s simply made up. All of my siblings have “J” names (it just sort of happened that way). I love traveling especially when I get to use Spanish (I am getting a bit rusty though).
- Birthdate: July 5th- the day before the 6th ;)
