She holds qualifications in Early Childhood Learning Management and a Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis, allowing her to provide evidence-informed, person-centred support to children, young people, and their families.

Since then, she has worked across the childcare sector, including autism-specific early intervention services, and has gained valuable experience as an Allied Health Assistant, supporting Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, and Behaviour Support services.
Her passion for helping others led her to complete a Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis, further expanding her skills and knowledge to support individuals in achieving meaningful outcomes.
Jenna is passionate about being part of a profession that focuses on possibilities rather than limitations. She finds great joy in helping clients develop new skills, build confidence, and achieve goals that are meaningful to them.

For Jenna, one of the most rewarding aspects of her role is supporting clients and families through important stages of their journey and helping them access opportunities to participate, belong, and thrive within their homes, schools, and communities.
