Hello, I‘m Jenna
I’m passionately driven to create stories for brands by thinking outside the box.
This site tells you a little bit about me.

Five fun facts
As a young lass growing up in London, I was convinced I’d be the next Nicole Kidman. It obviously didn’t work out, but if you’ve seen the movie Billy Elliot, I’m one of the ballerinas pulling the piano.
I work out that 9-5 (or 24/7) stress by completing distance races (my favorite was the Grand Canyon), dancing, and kickboxing.
Childhood cancer research holds a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve helped raise more than $250K.
I love cupcakes and sparkling wine. Check out bubblesandsprinkles.com.
Teaser - I have some excellent stories in my experience working in sportswear and entertainment. If they’re not private or embargoed, you should probably reach out, and we’ll have a wonderful time discussing.

As of late, people say...
Jenna is THE DEFINITION of a team player.
Jenna is an incredible colleague and an absolutely wonderful human being. Working with her was a joy.
Jenna immediately sets those who meet her at ease with her charm and an unwavering can-do attitude.
Jenna is an expert in communications and makes all her clients feel supported. Any team will be enhanced by Jenna's fantastic personality, dedication, and leadership. I have seen firsthand how adaptable Jenna is, seamlessly taking on projects on short notice and filling in for others on the team.
Jenna is an extraordinarily thoughtful, collaborative, and talented communications professional. Her ability to translate complex concepts and ideas into terms specifically tailored for her audience is top notch. She also has a striking ability to elegantly navigate the complexities of large organizations.
Jenna wasn’t only a lead to me but a valuable resource for our entire team, counted on for lists of solutions and an empathetic ear. She has a passion for facilitating connections and drove home the importance of consistently making inroads with new teams and individuals. She shepherded projects through complex approval processes and work that required extensive logistical planning. And everything done with a sly pun or cringe-worthy dad joke, a sense of humor around everything.
*(didn’t pay them, I swear)
I’m always looking for new and exciting ways to collaborate.
