Jenna graduated from South Dakota State University in 1999 with a bachelor’s degree. Shortly after, she began her career with Child Protective Services (CPS) in August of the same year, starting as a case manager working with children and families. In 2004, she transitioned into the role of Licensing and Adoption Specialist, where she focused on finding adoptive families for children whose parental rights had been terminated. She was also responsible for licensing and re-licensing foster families.
In 2007, Jenna was promoted to Supervisor for the Licensing and Adoption staff within the region a position which she has held since then.
As a dedicated CPS employee, Jenna has consistently volunteered for activities that benefit children. She has been an annual volunteer at Camp Chance since it started and have also contributed time to various events hosted by DASH.
Outside of work, Jenna enjoys reading, shopping, and spending quality time with their two daughters, ages 21 and 23, as well as with friends. She especially love outdoor activities during the summer months.
