Background
Jensen holds a bachelor's degree in biology from Iowa State University. She worked at Monsanto in Iowa doing genetic engineering, applied for a position in St. Louis and moved there in 2000. Corporate changes led to a layoff in 2002.
With some down time, she dived into her first home research project. She now runs Sherlock Homes.
Jensen offers her clients a peek into the past of the homes they live in. She investigates the background of a home, unearthing its past occupants, their professions and whatever family tidbits have survived the years. She learns when the structure was built and discovers any events that may have occurred on the property.
Jensen leafs through census records, items at the Missouri Historical Society research library, books, biographies and Internet sources. She also visits offices in City Hall, such as the recorder of deeds and assessor's office, seeks out building permits haunts the archives department.[1]
She is the past president of the Shaw Neighborhood Improvement Association, serves on the Grand South Grand House Tour committee, and is active in the 8th Ward Independent Democratic Association.
