We caught up with Jenny and even scored a special meeting with Manu (her adorable golden retriever)

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
About my greatest achievement, to be in a happy, healthy relationship with my husband for about 14 years counting from when we met. We been growing up together and I hope it continues that way.
What career other than your own would you like to attempt?
Singer, which I actually suck at, but I think I can do it very nicely when I play music very very loud and I can't even hear my own voice.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would like to be able to get focus in one thing until I get to finish it and not get distracted by other ideas that cross my mind.
You're designing your own jewelry line, could you tell us more about it?
The name of the line is Momposina Rocks, my sister Irma and I design it. It's a fun, we use different materials, silver, brass, and different findings I get to collect during trips around the world when I do modeling, we also get to work with different colombian indigenous communities and artisans that work the filigree. Channeling a gypsy spirit to create our designs.
