Jendi is married with two children: Coralynn is 11 and Brian is 5. Brian was diagnosed at 8 months old with infantile spasms, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome at 2 years old.

She became an educator in December 2018 after graduating from the University of South Florida with a bachelor’s of science in elementary education. Life is wild, so when there’s free time, she simply likes to relax, maybe with a cup of coffee, maybe a glass of wine — depends on her mood!
