Originally from Virginia and transplanted to the Midwest, Jenniey now lives in Iowa City. In addition to her day job, she teaches writing and does reading and editing for various lit journals and authors. She has an MFA in poetry and is currently working on several writing projects.

Her work on a hybrid nonfiction/poetry/visual manuscript (a series of experimentations focused on the theme of displacement) received the support of a Sustainable Arts Foundation award—an honor for which she is unabashedly proud and exceedingly grateful. She has also received support and/or recognition from PEN America and the Pushcart Prize.
