Jennifer Mangini

Jennifer Mangini is a U.S. Army veteran, artist, animal lover, and registered nurse. Born and raised in northern California, this awesome Gen Xer grew up on an acreage surrounded by walnut trees and small creeks. This was the time she explored the landscape of tadpoles, pollywogs, and her imagination. Additionally, during this period, she experienced love and affection from her adoptive family—the same people who would later become part of her incredible support system. She now lives in Portland Oregon with her beautiful spouse and two rescue pups!
