Jen
Jen is a preschool director by day, ghost storyteller and guide by night, and a full-time nap enthusiast whenever the universe allows. She's raising three kids, wrangling two dogs and two cats, and somehow still finds time to binge scary movies and contemplate life"s deeper regrets (usually while folding laundry). Her superpower? Turning Chaos into Compassion for the low-income families she serves with grit and grace.
When not working or parenting, Jen enjoys the sacred art of horizontal meditation (aka napping), overthinking dinner options, and watching horror films with the lights off, because why not flirt with danger? She may claim to be boring, but her life is a masterclass in multitasking, resilience, and the fine art of storytelling.

For over three years, Ryan has been a fixture at the Farnsworth House delicately blending historical interpretation with immersive storytelling. Ryan has meticulously transcribed the Sweney family letters, uncovering intimate glimpses into 19th century life and loss.

With a storyteller’s soul and a heart tuned to the echoes of the beyond, she’s your guide through the haunted hollows—where every creak, chill, and flicker might just be something… watching.
