Jenna grew up in Mount Olive, New jersey. She then went off to Massachusetts where she attended UMass Amherst for undergrad and received a degree in biology with a minor in psychology. Upon graduation, she headed back home to NJ to work in an ophthalmology office as a scribe/tech where she continued to fall in love with medicine! She couldn’t stay away from New England for too long and attended UMass Chan school of medicine. While in medical school she was involved in the Worcester Free Clinics; she is extremely passionate about providing equitable care to underserved communities. Jenna is thrilled to be continuing her training at Brown! She is looking forward to exploring all Rhode Island has to offer, including the food, beaches, and breweries! Outside of medicine she enjoys reading, doing puzzles, and being outdoors. She loves to spend time with her friends and family, to explore new places and meet new people!
