Jenny is an excellent communicator and a ‘diagrams person,’ often using visual means to help her clients grasp processes. She has lived in West Auckland her whole life and is well known in the community. Treating people with dignity and respect is foundational for Jenny, and when she isn’t achieving results for her clients she enjoys the company of friends, travel, walking, and good cafes.
