I'm Jenn Warren, Owner and Chief Content Creator for Dinkum Tribe. I have a B.A. in Spanish from Azusa Pacific University (graduated magna cum laude) and I am currently pursuing a Masters in Special Education. I work as an Instructional Assistant for special education in the Silver Falls School District. I am also a certified Direct Service Professional who helps individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities with activities of daily living. I write about family-friendly travel and road trips, parenting neurodivergent children, raising teenagers, homeschooling, grief, and abuse recovery. Several members of our family have neurodivergent diagnoses (ADHD, autism, cPTSD) and I've spent 8+ years learning how to accommodate neurodivergent needs, as well as supporting the resultant mental health challenges (particularly anxiety and depression). I love living in Oregon and exploring new places with my family. We've road tripped over 100,000 miles across the United States and Western Canada with our six children since their infancy. I also lived in Spain for a summer and spent another summer in Mexico. I homeschooled our six children for over 10 years, and served on the board of a homeschool co-op for 4 years. I was a Creative Memories Consultant for over 5 years, where I helped families preserve and display their photos both in archival scrapbooks as well as digital media. I also served as a support group leader and co-director of Pure Life Alliance, a nonprofit organization that supports families struggling with sexual addiction.
