“To the world you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world.”

Jenna is the Regional Program Manager at Think Big for Kids. She supports the execution of our three pillars: Career Exploration, Mentoring Program, and Career Exploration and Job Readiness Placement, in our growing regions of Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and New Jersey. Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, partner companies and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, we have the opportunity to spread our mission further and serve more kids.  Jenna brings with her, over 12 years of experience advising and mentoring young people in higher education, and is passionate about helping kids.  

Jenna graduated from the University of South Florida with a degree in International Studies as well as with a Master’s Degree in Higher Education. She has worked with students both at the University of South Florida as well as Stetson University College of Law, and enjoys having a positive impact on young people. She also worked closely with kids as a gymnastics coach throughout college, and enjoyed the opportunity to not only provide technical skill acquisition, but also to serve as a mentor and role model for young girls. 

Jenna is originally from Wisconsin, so is by default a big Packers fan. She grew up with four sisters and spent much of her time at gymnastics practice. Working with young people in a variety of roles has underscored the importance of helping kids reach their full potential, as ALL kids have potential! 

Jenna spends much of her free time with her husband and two young children. She enjoys hanging out with family and friends, traveling, and hanging out by the pool. And eating pizza! 

She is excited to be a part of the team and loves the tangible impact that Think Big has on the lives’ of many kids!
