I’ve always been the free spirit in my family,” Jenna says. “I think that they weren’t surprised that it took me some time to decide what I wanted to do. I was in education for a while. I was a paraeducator and I volunteered with AmeriCorps. It’s the teaching aspect of medicine that I like a lot. This carries over from my earlier carriers as we’re always trying to explain to patients in ways they can understand. And I’ve always been interested in science. So, it’s all coming together. I think I’ve found my niche.”
