Jena spent 7 years as Partner for the Nonprofit Portfolio at Praxis, and served as a primary coach for 100+ Fellows from 6 cohorts. As a co-author of the Redemptive Nonprofit Playbook, Jena is a passionate advocate for a redemptive rethinking in the nonprofit sector. At the start of her career, Jena served as co-founder and Executive Director of Blood:Water, which she founded alongside the band, Jars of Clay. She cares deeply for vulnerable populations around the globe and for the organizations dedicated to serving them. Over the years, Jena has led from multiple seats of the nonprofit and philanthropic tables and finds synergy at the intersection of both.

Jena is currently freelance consulting, managing an international move, and staying open and curious as she discerns her next vocational steps.
