Hello, I'm
Jenna
Jenna has close to 25 years of research experience and joined DJS Research as a Research Director in 2018, following 11 years at BMG Research. She specialises in social and public sector research, working across areas including central and local government, public health, charities and not-for-profit, and climate change and the environment.
Prior to joining DJS Research, Jenna completed a degree in Human Psychology and a Masters in Criminology and Criminal Justice at Loughborough University. She began her career working on large-scale Home Office evaluations at the University of Leicester and the University of Birmingham, before moving into a more commercial research role at Quad Research based at the University of Warwick.
Jenna is particularly experienced in managing large-scale quantitative and complex multi-mode projects, using a range of approaches including face-to-face, telephone, online and push-to-web methods. She has extensive experience engaging with hard-to-reach groups and applying robust sampling and analytical techniques to deliver high-quality, actionable insight.
She also heads up the employee engagement and employee experience team at DJS Research and has worked with more than 150 organisations to transform workforce insights into positive change and measurable improvement.
Jenna is passionate about conducting research that has a positive social impact, whether through policy development, service improvement, environmental outcomes or addressing deprivation and inequality.
Outside of work, Jenna enjoys staying active and can often be found at the gym, hiking, skiing or walking her cockapoo, Charlie.
