After reading drama at Hull University, during which time she acted for the Child Protection Unit of the Humberside Police Force and worked at the Edinburgh Festival, Jenny spent two years in the technicians' department at London Management, the prestigious theatrical agency. She combined this with designing and making masks, puppets and props for theatre productions including "Alice in Wonderland" at the Union Theatre, Waterloo.

Jenny joined Hartswood Films in 1999 as Producer's Assistant on BORDER CAFE and has worked on all of Hartswood's productions since then.
