Early life, family and inheritance
Sloan was born as Jennifer Emily Dunham on October 24, 1988 at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital to Celina née Hayes, an educator, and Joseph Dunham, a mechanic. Her mother is of Filipino-American descent and her father an immigrant from the United Kingdom. Her maternal grandmother, Amelia Vega, was Filipino and her maternal grandfather, Philip Hayes, was a Seattle native. In an interview, Sloan described herself as a "proud Filipino-American woman" and said that her maternal grandmother made sure to share her Filipino culture and Catholic faith. She has an older brother, Jacob and two younger identical twin sisters, Josephine and Jessica. She and her siblings were raised as Catholic but did not attend Catholic school nor were raised with a strict Catholic upbringing.
In 1998, Sloan's parents died in a car accident while traveling on Interstate 205 in Vancouver, Washington. Her and her siblings were subsequently raised by Amelia until she passed away in 2008.
