IOM: How long have you worked at Ole Miss?
Jenkins: Five-and-a-half years.
IOM: What is your hometown?
Jenkins: Oxford.
IOM: What is your favorite Ole Miss memory?

IOM: What do you enjoy most about your position or the department in which you work?
Jenkins: Being a transfer student myself, I love the fact that I get to help transfer students be admitted and begin their dream of earning a bachelor’s degree.

IOM: What is one thing on your bucket list?

Jenkins: I am a huge Chicago Cubs fan.
IOM: If you could have lunch with anyone alive or dead, fictional or real, who would it be and why?
Jenkins: I would love to have lunch with President John F. Kennedy. I love history and that time period of American history is intriguing to me. I would like to know what he was thinking during all the events during his presidency.
