This year alone, Jenna obtained a trial verdict against the San Diego Sheriff’s Department in a sexual harassment lawsuit against the Sheriff’s Department and the former Assistant Sheriff.

A native San Diegan, Jenna graduated in 2010 from California Western School of Law, where her tireless dedication to public interest causes, including work for the nonprofit California Women’s Law Center on matters relating to gender discrimination and for the County of San Diego’s Juvenile Dependency Division assisting in the representation of foster children in court, earned her a spot on the school’s Pro Bono Honor Society. Jenna holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and marketing from California State University-Chico and a paralegal certificate from the University of San Diego.  In her free time, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband and young son and daughter.

Congratulations, Jenna!
