Jenny has 20 years of experience in Education and federal grant management, with the last 9 years at Partners for Education at Berea College, where she supervised a portfolio of federal grant programs. In 1999, when Berea College received their first GEAR UP grant, Jenny worked as an office manager for that grant. She then spent 7 years with Madison County Schools as a classroom teacher and as the director of their federal 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant. She then worked for the national nonprofit Save the Children as a literacy specialist, before returning to her roots at Berea College, where one of the programs she supervised was the same Upward Bound program that gave her wings.
