Jenny is the eldest of six children, raised in a rural community in a western district town of Victoria, Australia. Her formative years in Catholic primary and secondary school shaped her values of compassion and service. From an early age Jenny was exposed to the principles of social justice and self-actu­alisation with strong role models in parents who were deeply committed to the community. As a speech therapist and work­ing in disability services. Jenny believes that communication is a fundamental human right, and every individual has the right to express themselves fully and participate meaningfully in their communities.

Her debut novel, The Space Between, follows a young woman caught between who she's been raised to be and who she's finally ready to become. It's a story about identity, love, and the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending.
