About me
Jenna helped to launch The Outdoor Learning School & Store and co-created the 4 Seasons of Indigenous Learning initiative. She is a certified teacher of 20 years and was previously the VP of Indigenous Learning and Equity for Rocky Mountain School District.
Jenna is a lifelong learner, continually deepening her understanding of her culture (Secwepémc and Ktunaxa), traditional teachings, languages, and knowledge of nature. She believes that Indigenous perspectives connect seamlessly with outdoor, hands-on, and place-based learning. Her goal is to provide learners of all ages opportunities to explore, learn, and immerse themselves in outdoor education enriched by Indigenous perspectives and knowledge.
Jenna’s roots run deep at the headwaters of the Columbia River, the unceded territories of her ancestors, the Secwépemc and Ktunaxa people. Her personal connection to these lands and their people reflects her profound respect for her culture.
