Jenna made her West End debut in the original cast of We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre. Jenna went on to play the roles of Meat and Scaramouche in the West End before playing Killer Queen in We Will Rock You's 10th anniversary world arena tour, making her the only person to have played all three roles in the musical's history.

Some of Jenna's other theatre credits include: Narrator in Joseph (Adelphi Theatre), Grizabella in Cats (European Tour), alternate Donna in Mamma Mia! (Original UK Tour), Mary in Rod Stewart’s Tonight's the Night (UK Tour), Becky McDonald in Street of Dreams (MEN Arena Manchester), June Child in 20th Century Boy (UK Premiere) and Lorraine in Boogie Nights (UK Tour).

Alongside her theatre work, Jenna is an acclaimed concert artist and regularly performs internationally. She released her debut album On The Edge in 2019.
