Pronouns: she / her

Jenna was a Girl Scout as a kid and even though she hung up her sash back in high school, it seems she’s still racking up merit badges. Having been born in England, studied abroad in Japan, and traveled to Morocco, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and Bulgaria, among others, Jenna’s solidly earned her International Relations badge. She got her Social Sciences badge with her BA from Gustavus Adolphus College and her Master’s from University of Chicago. In her job as a policy analyst at a non-profit think tank, Jenna studies the impact of government programs on children and families (that could count for a lot of badges but we’re leaning toward “Think Tank Badge”…because it sounds cool). When she’s not at her day job, Jenna utilizes her General Knowledge and Geography badges at pub trivia, her Team Sports badge playing in the Chicago Media 16-inch softball league, her Vinyl badge as a radio DJ and one of the organizers of the CHIRP Radio Record Fair, and of course her Badass DJ badge with Toast & Jam.

“Toast & Jam DJs truly made our night perfect. Music and dancing was a top priority for us and Jenna made everything so easy. She also was great at making sure we were on schedule throughout the night, leaving plenty of time for the dance floor. Whether it was coordinating our playlist or giving us suggestions, Jenna was great. Can not recommend this company enough!”

“Jenna was our DJ for our August 2021 wedding and we absolutely LOVED having her!!! Music was our number one priority for our wedding and we knew we were in good hands with Jenna from day one. She listened to exactly what we wanted and made it impossible to leave the dance floor! Our dance floor was jam packed for every single song start to finish. Our guests are still constantly commenting and raving about the music at our wedding. She knew how to appeal to all ages, while still staying true to…”

“GRATEFUL is an understatement...I was so happy after our first meeting that my husband Michael and I had with Jenna. I felt a sense of relief because I knew Jenna understood exactly what 'vibe' we were going for. We did more of a cocktail style reception and for that style reception the music flow had to have smooth transitions and Jenna did that FLAWLESSLY! We had a mixed crowd filled with age that ranged from 20 to 70 year olds so it was definitely difficult to please everyones music…”
