With a deep-rooted passion for animals which developed during her childhood in Botswana, Jenna has dedicated her life to their well-being. This lifelong commitment led her to volunteer at various animal shelters from a young age.

Following a career as a Legal Secretary and, for 12 years, as the Executive Personal Assistant to the CEO of an accounting franchise in Cape Town, Jenna has returned to her true passion. She currently volunteers at SANCCOB, where she is directly involved in the rehabilitation of sick and injured seabirds. Her extensive volunteer work also includes organizations such as DARG and the SPCA, and she shares her home with two rescue dogs and a rescue cat.

Furthering her expertise, Jenna completed the COAPE C01 Dogwise course in 2012 and earned her Diploma in Animal Behaviour in June 2022. Jenna has been a member of the COAPE marking team since 2022.
