Jensen has been a part of the CGI team since the end of 2019. While still learning and
understanding different aspects of the Foodservice Industry, she is putting her Bachelor of Fine
Arts Degree in Choreography and Performance to use in addition to her 19 years of dance training
and 6 years of dance teaching experience. Though her main passion is dance, Jensen’s love for
food is like no other! Thank goodness for all the dancing otherwise those extra helpings of
pizza & pasta would do some serious damage! If she isn’t wasting the day away lounging in
her bed, Jensen is getting about 3 hours of sleep between spending time with friends and family,
working on projects, or adventuring. She’s either doing it all or doing nothing at all!
