Jennie Spalding | Accountant| accounting@pontevedra.church

While pursuing her accounting degree, Jennie attended school at USC (Gamecocks), Augusta College, and Stetson University. Her accounting background is extensive, having grown from entry level to management positions early in her career which provided her with well-rounded experience in all areas of bookkeeping/accounting. Her positions with global companies offered substantial international travel and exposure to various cultures. This was quite enjoyable for many years, and she is now incredibly happy to settle down to enjoy her family while also being blessed to continue the accounting work that she loves as a member of this amazing church support team. Jennie enjoys her role as a grandmother, babysitting, and bicycling in her spare time. She has also begun exploring her love of cooking with help from a talented chef who is also a good friend.
