She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Idaho, completed her MBA at Boise State University through the Executive program, and is also a Registered Nurse. Jenni has dedicated her career to patient advocacy, combining clinical nursing and passion for business development, to drive patient-outcome based healthcare delivery.
