Jenny was a gifted educator and entrepreneur and founded The Academy of Louisville in 2005. Jenny’s singular vision was to bring innovative, individualized education to children and The Academy is testament to her love of this quest.

Jenny was happiest with her family and when enjoying the beauty of the natural world. She had a keen eye for fashion, art and architecture and was fierce about politics, social justice and the causes she held dear.
