Hi, my name is Jenni. I'm from Omaha, Nebraska, where I've lived my entire life. If you're not familiar with Omaha, here is a link of our downtown area called the Old Market: http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=41.25542,-95.931244&spn=0.003259,0.009613&z=17
I attended a small all-girls Catholic high school, and I loved it. I love to travel, and my high school offered a lot of travel opportunities, which brings me to my secret fact. I had a hard time thinking of one, so this was the best I came up with: The summer after Junior year I spent two weeks in the Dominican Republic doing service and experiencing the culture. The other girls and I each lived with a family in the mountains, and we helped them out with several projects in their village. I suppose I picked this as my secret fact because it was the most amazing trip I have ever been on, and we started preparing for the trip and raising money about a year in advance, so it was a big part of my high school experience. I've also been to Spain, Italy, and Greece, which are beautiful countries. Actually, I hope to study abroad in Spain for a year.
I was on Varsity tennis in high school. I joined Club Tennis here at Trinity, but I have yet to go to a practice. I got kind of busy. I'm pre-med, so I have a lot of science classes and labs, but I think I want to major in Spanish, so I'm taking Spanish classes also. I'm very excited for second semester. First semester was a blast, and I met a lot of amazing people, so I'm really optimistic about my new classes and meeting new people.
As far as computer experience goes, I would say I'm average. We had a laptop program at my high school, so I've had a computer since sophomore year, but I only use it to type papers and use the internet. We occasionally did powerpoints and graphs using Excel. I would say the majority of my time spent on the computer is on iTunes and Facebook.

  1. I look forward to having you in class, Jenni. Your trip to the Dominican Republic sounds really fun and worthwhile - a great combination!

    The things we learn in class should be helpful for your chem and bio classes - especially everything we learn about making Excel much easier to use.

    Remember, if you have any questions feel free to email me. I look forward to helping you this semester.

  3. Going to the Dominican Republic seems like it would be such a great experience. I have always wanted to go there, as well as Puerto Rico. It is awesome that you got to go to the Dominican Republic, while also giving back to there community.

    I look forward to being in your class for the next semester.

  4. Wow! Your trip to the Dominican Republic undoubtedly seems awesome! It must have been really cool to have experienced the culture truly as it is. I love Spain! I went there last summer. Studying there would seriously be amazing!
