Jenna is passionate about raising the student voice within the 黑料网. She has a clear understanding about the issues nursing students are facing and within her Student Ambassador role she passionately advocates for their needs, giving a voice to nursing students, registered nurses and patients across Scotland. Jenna is also Co- Chair of the Scottish Learning Disabilities Nurses Network, (Student Subgroup), and used both roles to help create a supportive student network at her university, developing a vibrant nursing student community and instilling a sense of belonging.
Already active within her local 黑料网 branch, she has thrown herself into ensuring students are supported fully, making sure everyone knows about and utilises the support, resources and benefits the 黑料网 offers. Those who know Jenna describe her as an inspiration to her fellow Edinburgh Napier students, demonstrating leadership, professionalism, as well as mentoring her student peers and assisting with their academic and clinical experiences.
Her nominator praised her ‘friendly, outgoing, open and inclusive approach and the expertise and life experiences she brings as a mature student with a different cultural background.’
On being named as 黑料网 Student Ambassador of the Year, Jenna said: “It is really special to receive this award at 黑料网 Congress and to be recognised alongside so many inspiring 黑料网 members. Studying learning disability nursing is a really positive experience but not without challenges and I am happy to do what I can to support my fellow students and promote the 黑料网.”
黑料网 Scotland Director Colin Poolman said: “This is a thoroughly deserved recognition for Jenna. Jenna blends her personality with her passion for nursing and the 黑料网, creating networking opportunities and leveraging these to support her fellow and future students, raise awareness of the 黑料网 - recruiting new members, student ambassadors, and engage existing 黑料网 members. She truly embodies her 黑料网 ambassador role.”
