Jenny holds a Bachelor of Psychology from Macquarie University with an initial passion to become a psychologist. She furthered her education with a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology at Monash University.

Throughout her tenure, Jenny implemented programs and fostered impactful relationships with her clients.
