Jenna started as a general assignment reporter at CBS 58 in April 2022.
She came to Milwaukee from Duluth, Minnesota, where she was the anchor of CBS 3 This Morning, and a reporter for CBS 3/KBJR 6. While in Duluth, she covered several high-profile stories, such as the death of George Floyd and corresponding protests, major snowstorms, and presidential visits.
Jenna began her career in New Bern, North Carolina as a producer for WCTI-TV. In 2018, she covered Hurricane Florence, which made landfall in her news market.
Now in Milwaukee, Jenna loves to tell stories about the community, arts and culture, animals, and advocacy. You can often find her long-form, positive stories on CBS 58 Sunday Morning.
Jenna grew up just over Wisconsin's border in Gurnee, Illinois. She graduated from Illinois State University in 2018 with a B.A. in Journalism. As a Redbird, Jenna was part of the TV-10 news program, which equipped her with the knowledge to start her career.
When Jenna isn't working, you can find her out and about with her amazing chihuahua, Lady Bird.
