About Jennifer Dierker-Bennett

Jennifer was born in Cleveland Ohio, and has moved several times in her life. She graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Wildlife Management and a minor in Biology. During her time in college she wandered away from the Catholic Church and attended Methodist and Evangelical-free churches, followed by a stint at a general "non-denominational" Christian church. Feeling something was missing from her experiences in these churches, she wandered back to the Catholic Church of her birth, where she started to read any book on church teaching she could find. Her interests include women's roles in the church, marriage and family, and the Saints. In September 2007, she married David Bennett.

She enjoys reading, knitting, and cooking (or making a mess of the kitchen).
