She has completed Basic and Advanced training through Fakir Intensives (1999, 2012, 2018), has her level C First Aid, WHO Covid19 and Bloodborne Pathogens certificate. She has also attended seminars and workshops at the Association for Professional Piercers annual conferences (2004, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023) and member's retreats (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019). Jenna presented a class on "Kids Ear Piercing" at the APP's international conference in 2022, and "Grounding and Bedside Manner" in 2023, as well as presenting workshops on mindfulness at both the 2023, 2022 conference and camp in 2017.
She is known for her skill, dexterity and dedication to beautiful, quality piercings and jewelry. She is also known for being a bit less stoic. Jenna treats all of our studio's clients as she would want to be treated. That includes seeing the test strip that runs in the autoclave before a procedure, juice boxes, sterile cold compresses, stickers for bravery and treats.
Jenna is a proud member of the Association of Professional Piercers and is dedicated to continuing to learn and develop her skills.
