Jenna is an experienced Symitar PowerOn programmer and analyst. Her credit union career began as a teller at her hometown university credit union. From that start, she worked her way through data processing conversions, managing technology projects, and managing branches to become a vice president in charge of collections as well as consumer, real estate, and commercial lending. Her career eventually shifted full-time to credit union data processing, and PowerOn specifically, to streamline processes and provide data for strategic decision-making.
Â
Mid-career, Jenna’s passion for learning led her to pursue additional education, which included a law degree and an MBA. She practiced law for several years full-time before returning to the credit union industry and PowerOn programming.Â
