Jenna grew up in Chicago’s northwest suburbs and earned her Bachelor of Science in Dietetics and Nutrition from Eastern Illinois University. She has always had a deep, sensitive connection to animals and a passion for care and wellness.

Jenna has been part of the MCP story since the early days — including the unforgettable chapter when Blue dog practically lived in the car with Marta — a time that forged lasting commitment and friendship rooted in showing up when it mattered most.

Today, she spends her days with her husband, son, and dogs, traveling, cooking home made delicacies, and finding ways — big and small — to make a positive difference in the world whenever she can. 

Jenna is excited to be on the MCP board during this pivotal, historic moment for Chicago’s West Side communities and their pets, and looks forward to helping shape a future rooted in compassion, access, and lasting impact.
