She averaged 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. The team won the silver medal.

Jenna played part of the 2005 season with the AIS in the WNBL, before joining the Dandenong Rangers for the 2005/2006 season, in which her team were runners up.  She averaged 5.1 points per game and 2.8 rebounds per game this season, but had to deal with a foot injury. In the 2006/2007 season she played in the forward position for the Rangers.  She avoided training during the early part of so as not to aggravate a foot injury.  Nonetheless, in the first seven games of the season, she averaged 21.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. In one game against Bulleen, she scored 28 points.  In those seven games, she only shot under 20 points only two times.  Her team lost only in the two games she did not play.  In the team's 66-61 preliminary loss to the Adelaide Lightning, Jenna scored 28 points and had a field goal percentage of 55%. She led the game in scoring.

She was with the Bendigo Spirit for the 2007/2008 season, and then played her first season with the Bulleen Boomers in 2009/2010.  The Boomers were runner-ups in the WNBL Grand Final.  For most of the 2010/2011 season, she dealt with two injuries, the first of which left her on the bench for four weeks. Her second was a knee injury.  She finished the season with an average of 12 points per game, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game.  The Boomers won the championship that season and she was named to the WNBL All-Star Five.  She played for the Dandenong Rangers in 2011/2012, again helping her team to win the WNBL's championship.  She played for the Dandenong Rangers again in 2012/13 and is a current member of that team.

She played in France in 2008/2009 with Arras Pays d'Artois Basket Féminin in the Federation Francaise de Basket-ball and in the WNBA for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 seasons.

In March 2007, she was named to the national team what would prepare for the 2008 Summer Olympics.  She participated in a week long training camp with the national team in Canberra in late March and early April 2008, but did not make her Opals debut until 2009.  She was named in the 2010 Opals World Championship Squad.  In mid-2010, she participated in a tour of China, USA and Hungary, and in 2010, was a member of the senior women's national team that competed at the World Championships in the Czech Republic.  She missed the Olympic qualification series in July 2011 because of WNBA commitments, but was named to the 2012 team.  In February 2012, she was named to represent Australia at the 2012 London Olympics and we hope she is a team mate of Rachel Jarry at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
