Through this success she was subsequently invited to compete in the Glennfiddich Fiddle Competition. Whilst still at school, Jenna also took lessons from Trevor Hunter and Margaret Scollay. In addition to playing the fiddle, Jenna also studied classical piano. On leaving school, Jenna went on to study a BA in Traditional Scottish Music at the Royal Academy of Music & Drama in Glasgow. Whilst studying fiddle, she also played piano and piano accordion, as well as being introduced to singing.

Jenna has also performed since a young age, and Shetland band Filska was where this began. Under the direction of mum, Joyce, Jenna along with her sister Bethany and friend Gemma Wilson, had played together since a young age and in 1995 Filska released their debut album, entitled Harvest Home. This was to be followed in 1998 with their second release, Time and Tide. It was this album that saw Filska begin to make a name for themselves not only in Scotland but throughout Europe and beyond. Their success saw them play to audiences in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Ireland, France, Canada and the US.

Filska's trip to America came as an invitation to represent Scotland at the Millennium Celebrations in Disney's Epcot Centre. Following this Filska performed live as part of the Scottish Millennium Celebrations along with Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham in a show that was broadcast to over 60 countries.Jenna also performs with D?chas who have been taking the traditional music world by storm.

Now based in Glasgow, Jenna enjoys work as both a performer and teacher, having tutored alongside legendary fiddler, Liz Carroll. In addition to this, Jenna has also toured and played with Scottish acts Deaf Shepherd, Fiddlers' Bid, John Raes Celtic Feet and Kevin MacKenzie's Vital Signs.

In 2005, Jenna released her debut solo CD With Silver and All, and received the Scottish Traditional Music award for Best Up and Coming Soloist.
