During her clinical placement, she was the Tutor in Anatomy for Christ Church, Oxford. She was also the President of Oxford University Scientific Society, the oldest undergraduate science society in the world. Under her leadership, she increased online membership from 25,000 to 200,000, and organised and chaired weekly discourses and panels with external speakers, including members of the Royal Society. She was also the Editor-in-Chief of the University of Oxford's Science Magazine, publishing the Michaelmas 2015 issue to a national readership of 7,500. She is passionate about providing equitable access to clinical research, and as a result founded the Oxford University Clinical Research Society. Under her leadership, applications were started which secured £20,000 of INSPIRE funding to support medical student clinical research.
Jennie then started her foundation training at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, part of the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. Here, she was awarded Outstanding Achievement in Postgraduate Education for 2 years of providing teaching at a postgraduate level for Foundation Doctors and nationally. She is currently an Internal Medicine Trainee based in London (St Mary's Hospital, Royal Brompton Hospital, Charing Cross Hospital).
She has an interest in cardiology, and has completed a PGCert in Sports Cardiology at St George's University of London. She is the current Junior Editor for European Heart Journal - Case Reports, and has produced a podcast every 6 weeks on one case which has been published. She has continued to publish prolifically and is a co-author on over 20 peer-reviewed journals. She also contributes to research by peer reviewing for several PubMed indexed journals on cardiology topics. Her past research collaborations include investigating NMDA receptor subunits with Professor Graham Collingridge, Bristol University; MAIA Microperimetry with Professor Robert Maclaren, Oxford; cardiac biomarkers in hypertensive adults with the Leeson Group, Oxford; cardiac MRI imaging with the Neubauer Group, Oxford; and creation of splicing reporters for dilated cardiomyopathy, Ashley Lab, Stanford. She also has experience in clinical research, having been a co-investigator for the Phase 3 Novavax Trial (2020-2021).
She continues to take on leadership roles. She was a previous Foundation Doctor Representative for the Royal College of Physicians and sat on local and national committees. As part of this, she led the Student and Foundation Doctor Network welfare project, starting a monthly welfare bulletin. Currently, she is the Associate College Tutor at Charing Cross Hospital, and has started a local teaching programme for the Internal Medicine Trainees.
In her free time, she is a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, International Yacht Training Flotilla Skipper and Radio Operator. She rowed with the Christ Church Rowing Club and John O'Gaunt Rowing Club, and won Oriel Regatta. She is also Grade 8 in Piano, and has performed solo recitals in several venues in Bristol.
