Hi there, I’m Jena! 😊

I’m the voice behind Smile Station Learning, and I created this series to help kids feel supported, seen, and strong — even on the tough days.

I’ve worked with amazing kids at Sunrise Day Camp, helped run fun events at schools, and led activities that build kindness, courage, and confidence. I believe every child deserves to feel safe sharing their emotions and proud of who they are.

I’m not a licensed therapist or doctor, just a teen who cares deeply and wants to be a supportive guide as you grow. Everything I share in Smile Station Learning is based on things I’ve learned through leadership, education, and real-life experience working with kids like you.

Whether you’re feeling happy, sad, silly, or unsure, there’s always a place for you here. I’m so glad you’re joining me.
