Jenna was crowned Miss New York USA in July 2026 after competing against over 90 delegates from across the state. She is a physician Associate, professional model, and entrepreneur, but she is eager to expand her career into the entertainment industry in the form of acting and hosting. 

By the time she took the New York stage, Jenna had already built a career most people spend a lifetime chasing. In just a few years, she became a physician associate, launched her own perfume business, walked international stages, and modeled for Ralph Lauren in Milan — experiences that opened doors to the Cannes Film Festival, charity galas, and a vast network of partners and collaborators. She continues to work as a model and concierge wellness and longevity physician associate specializing in peptide therapy, continuing to practice medicine even as her platform has grown far beyond the exam room.

Pageantry found Jenna in her late twenties, at a crossroads. She had built a stable career as a PA but felt unaligned with her deeper ambition to get into the entertainment industry, so she left her job without a clear next step. She knew this was risky, but she knew she wasn’t going to be able to find her passion if she was in the office all day every day. Not long after her resignation, a former colleague called to tell her about an upcoming pageant — one that was four days away. Jenna said yes. She won, and two and a half weeks after that, she was competing on an international stage, where she placed first runner-up. That month, she says, taught her more about herself than years in school and clinics ever had: that she performs best under pressure, that visibility is its own form of leadership, and that the parts of herself she once kept separate — medicine, glamour, ambition, advocacy — were actually meant to coexist.

Jenna’s story of finding true alignment became the basis of her platform: choosing courage over comfort and giving yourself the permission to pivot. She is a vocal advocate for survivors of human trafficking, child abuse and domestic violence, and hopes to one day launch RISE, a nonprofit built to support survivors long after crisis intervention ends. 

Three weeks after being crowned Miss NY USA, Jenna competed at Miss USA, where she placed in the Top 10 — a result she considers proof that authenticity, not conformity, is what carries a woman furthest, both on stage and off.
