Jenna is a Virginia transplant. She moved to the Boston area in 2007 following Grad School in NYC. After a decade (!!) in Boston she is proud to say that she doesn't think it sounds weird anymore when people use the word "wicked," to describe things other than witches.
Previously, Jenna worked for The Christian Science Monitor as their Asia desk editor and then jumped two feet into local journalism covering Brookline and Newton for Gatehouse Media. She made the switch to Patch and claims she loved it from Day 1. We'll take it. She's a runner, a swimmer a loyal flip-flops-and-early-morning-Walden-Pond-swim-in-the-summer fan. She knows how to throw a frisbee and she has a love-hate relationship with coffee.
Jenna is the local editor, reporter for Brookline, Newton and Waltham. She is also the Boston Metro Editor.
