Jenna, COTA/L
Occupational Therapy Assistant
Jenna is a San Diego native from La Mesa but now resides in Santee. She studied Occupational Therapy at Grossmont college. Jenna worked as a licensed massage therapist for 13 years before becoming an OT assistant. Jenna was inspired to become a pediatric OT assistant after completing fieldwork with Santee school district and struggling with childhood epilepsy. The best part about OT Jenna says is how much fun she gets to have with the kids while teaching them how to master new skills. She likes being apart of a child’s progress and believes it is important to celebrate their successes, no matter how big or small.
When Jenna isn’t in the clinic she is volunteering in her children’s school garden program, at the gym or subbing for Lakeside Union SD as a specie needs aid. Jenna has two children named Zachary and Madelyn and is married to a United States Marine. She loves her cat Daisy, going camping and playing adult league softball.
