The expressive arts have been a big part of life for Jenny ever since she was a child, coming from a music/art loving family. She sang and played classical guitar in high school. Jenny took her arts creativity into different professional childcare roles.

Jenny has worked in a variety of childcare roles over the years, including work in Nurseries and as a Nanny, caring for children of all ages, and from different backgrounds, including those in foster care.

Over the last 13 years, Jenny has needed to remain at home with her daughter, as she has suffered significantly with anxiety issues and has required full-time care. Jenny recently completed an accredited course in Child Mental Health.

Jenny believes wholeheartedly that all young people should be given equal access to opportunities within the arts, both in educational settings and out with, that help them thrive and feel valued with no exceptions.

Bringing young people together to be a part of a creative, inclusive, emotionally and socially supportive environment, especially those who may not have this support in their lives otherwise, is an incredibly valuable endeavour.
