Personal Information:

Jenna’s husband, Matt, farms with his dad and uncles (3rd generation) on a 4000-acre farm in Mason. They mostly deal with crops but also have beef cattle. Her and her husband have two boys ages 10 and 14. She is actively involved in the Ingham County Fair, an active member of the Ingham County Fair board, 4-H sewing leader for a local 4-H youth club, sports mom, MSU fan, and farm wife.

Her favorite quote in medicine is: “Wherever the art of Medicine is lovers, there is also a love of humanity”-Hippocrates. She also had a great mentor to teach her (one of the founders at CIMA-Dr. Charles Barry Dehlin), that you should “always continue to grow in medicine; grow and learn for yourself, but also so your patients can get the best care they need… You should never stop learning.”
