Her life took its first turn when she started interning for D Home Magazine as a high school senior.

She enjoyed the internship and decided to attend the University of Texas at Austin as a result.

College proved to be a wild ride for Mary, but not for the reasons you might think.

It was after that time when she lived with another very noteworthy UT Austin student.

One of the hosts asked if Jenna had a Secret Service detail during that time.

Padian revealed that she did “when we were in college.”

By extension, that meantPadian had Secret Service protectionas well while they lived together.

“It was crazy, but it was her life,” Padian shared.

“She didn’t choose it.

She was indifferent to it.

It was fine but it wasn’t.”

Looking back on it, I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’ you know?

But at the time, no, [I didn’t notice].

I mean, they’re Secret Service they’re trained professionals.

They know what to do," said Padian.

“It was just her dad was the president.

I felt bad for her at times.”
