About me

Hi there! 😊 My name is Jenny and I enjoy traveling, exploring new places and cultures, and when I can I love to help others. I volunteer my time with community organizations like the local parks & recreation dept, performance arts venues, and animal shelters. I like to meet new friends and hang out with my friends when our schedules allow. I always keep in mind to respect others' time and space.
