Jennifer Davis
Director
Jenna lives in Hill with her husband and two puppers. She’s a lifelong lover of reading, crafting, gardening, quilting, yard sale-ing, learning new things, and talking to people. She does not like or excel at math. Her favorite color is Rainbow. Her second favorite color is Glitter. Never one to sneer at a good dad joke, Jenna loves to laugh and her humor is NOT for everyone. Her favorite quote is: To love and to be loved is to feel the sunshine from both sides.
