About Jenna

Hi! I'm Jenna, a 19-year-old college student at Maryville University studying social work, and I'm going into my sophomore year. I've been working with kids since I was a sophomore in high school! I started working with kids as a gymnastics coach, which was such a fun experience and showed me how much I enjoy helping kids grow their confidence and celebrate their accomplishments. After that, I began working in before- and after-school programs. I started in the WGSD, I worked at the elementary school I attended for three years and became the Site Lead my final year, where I helped manage staff and create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for a large group of kids (while keeping things as organized as possible!). Now I work in the KSD, and love continuing to build relationships with kids and families. I enjoy being someone kids feel comfortable with, can laugh with, and can count on. I love crafts, games, outdoor play, and helping with homework or just being an extra support syste
