Get to Know

Jenny Hardman

Fun Fact #1

I left my heart in San Francisco, in the hills of Tuscany, and the mountains of Peru. Also, on the east coast of the land down under and while dining on the cliffs of Santorini at sunset. Along the beaches of Turks & Caicos and a New York City high-rise. With the villagers of Uganda and in the slot canyons of Lake Powell. Whether it’s a weekend getaway, month long adventure, or college study aboard, my passion passport is never ending. Follow my travel Instagram @ClassySassyTravel

Fun Fact #2

My morning fitness routine is as much about the physical benefits as it is the mental benefits. Each and every day I start by either running off steam at OrangeTheory Fitness, dancing my way into the daily grind with WERQ Dance Fitness, or a good strength workout. 

Fun Fact #3

Low-FODMAP Diet! Have you heard of it?! Well, I am of the small percentage that is intolerant to onions & garlic, stone fruits & certain veggies, lentils & types of nuts, dairy and gluten, plus a list of many others. Yikes, sounds awful right?! Well, after dealing with debilitating stomach pains for many years I learned to adhere to the Low-FODMAP Diet & trust me, cutting out certain foods wasn’t easy but it has been an absolute lifesaver! If you struggle and can’t figure out why, ask me anything! It’s not a super well-known diet/meal plan so I’m happy to help. 

 

Hello

I’m Jenny

Hi, everyone – I’m Jenny Hardman! A girl with her sights set high and big dreams! I choose to live life by my favorite quote, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you’ll land among the stars”. 

I graduated from the University of Utah with a broadcast journalism degree in 2007 and also worked on my degree at two colleges abroad: Griffith University in Queensland, Australia to study communication and Dante Alighieri University in Siena, Italy to study history, language, and culinary arts. College was definitely an amazing time of life!

I’m chatty, inquisitive and love being in the limelight, so I quickly began my TV career after graduating.

Over the years I’ve held various positions such as lifestyle host, news reporter, features reporter, traffic reporter, and producer. 

Lifestyle Host is definitely my favorite and I was so excited to join the Fox 13 News team in Salt Lake City, Utah in November 2019 as Host of The Place, Utah’s lifestyle and entertainment show that focuses on the people, places, and products that make Utah exceptional. You can watch me LIVE weekdays at 1 PM or mornings on Fox 13 Good Day Utah when I’m filling in as traffic/features reporter.

From the studio lights to the stage lights, I love any chance I get to be in front of a live audience as an emcee, spokeswoman, and actress. I grew up doing musical theatre and there’s just nothing quite like a live audience. I also enjoy a couple other side hustles as a TV media trainer and social media director for several companies.

I’m a pianist, fitness fanatic, food enthusiast, shopaholic, social butterfly, and travel addict. From gallivanting around Europe, to humanitarian trips in Peru & Uganda, to simple weekend getaways, I’m always on the go and sharing my travels on my travel blog classysassytravel.com & @classysassytravel on all social platforms. 

Remember, “LIFE IS TO BE LIVED, TRAVELED, & EATEN WHILE DRESSED IN ALL YOUR FAVORITES!” – xo Jenny Hardman
