Jennifer Pack started learning German as a high school student in southern California, and had the opportunity to spend two summers living with a German family, where she fell in love with the people and the history of Germany.  She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis, with a dual major in German and Secondary Education.  She spent a year at the University of Tuebingen in southern Germany, studying German language, history, and theology.  After graduation, Jen began teaching German to middle and high school students in public schools.  

Jen and her husband, Chuck, live near Nashville, with their five children, ages 4-18.  Jen loves to cook exotic foods, spend time with her kids, and raise chickens and Great Danes.
