Originally from southern California, Jenna moved to the northwest suburbs of Chicago in 2005. She belongs to a family of four, having a brother who is five years younger than her. Jenna came to know the Lord as her personal Savior during a week at a Christian camp where she heard a sermon about the Gospel.
Jenna was homeschooled throughout high school and started attending her local community college when she was sixteen.
After two years at community college, Jenna transferred to Elmhurst College to pursue veterinary medicine. She become involved with a campus ministry known as Cru, and felt the Lord calling her to pursue full-time ministry. After her first year at Elmhurst, Jenna transferred once again to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, where she spent the next three years majoring in Evangelism and Discipleship.
Recently, she graduated from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, with a B.A. in Evangelism and Discipleship.
After doing her summer internship with AT3 (Alliance for Transatlantic Theological Training), she felt the Lord calling her to go to the UK after graduation for a two year stint. She is now preparing to go back to the church she once served at in Manchester, England for two years. She will be a part of Emmanuel Community Church in Stockport, England while she gets her certification in Biblical Counselling.
She is thankful to her friends and family who have continually encouraged her to pursue the Lord. She is thankful for the support of her churches, Jubilee Bible Church (where she grew up) and New Life Lincoln Park Community Church (where she attended while at Moody).
