Jenna’s charity of choice is the Somaly Mam Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to ending human trafficking. Jenna is passionate about local and global change. She helps to locally organize and implement the annual Helping Hands food and clothing drive held the 4th Saturday of April each year.

As a co-leader for her daughter Ella’s Girl Scout troop, Jenna is also teaching her daughter how to give back to her community. For Jenna, the highlight ofthis past year with the Girl Scouts was when, “We decided to help a family in need that came to us through the Hands ofGrace ministry. Our troop brought a Christmas tree, decorations, and a few gifts to the family. We sang Christmas carols as we helped them decorate the beautiful 7- foot tree. To see this family’s two small children so happy was the highlight of my year!”
Jenna resides in Aliso Viejo with her husband, Scott, and daughter, Ella, age seven. She grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and at age 15 moved with her family to San Clemente.
