Jenny started her career in nonprofit work under the influence of her grandmother, a longtime Richmond district resident. She has worked across the sector, with a specialty in fundraising and philanthropy. Starting in January as ED, she plans to expand and strengthen San Francisco Village, building on the successful community and mutual aid-based model that has been so well received. She grew up in a family with strong multi-generational ties and believes that the wisdom from elders should be celebrated and shared. She raised three sons, now college-aged, in the North Bay, and they are the reason she works to better the world each and every day. Jenny is an elected member of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors Commission on Women and a board member of the Sonoma International Film Festival and the Brady Foundation. When not working or volunteering, she enjoys art and the outdoors, preferably with the humans she loves. (Lifetime Giants/Niners fan).
