Prior to working in Milwaukee, Jenna worked in St. Louis and Huntsville, Alabama where she covered several investigative stories.
While reporting during the pandemic, Jenna reported on the first vaccine inoculation in Alabama. She also broke stories surrounding high case and death counts in several nursing homes across Alabama.
