When Jena was first getting started, there were no online education programs specifically for SLP and OTs going into private practice, so she created the programs she wished she had. Jena has been invited to speak at local and national ASHA conferences; she’s spoken on the topics of starting and growing private practices, marketing, and entrepreneurship. You can hear Jena every week as the host of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast, and you can hang out with her on all social media platforms. Jena...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/F-cBSCn8Rpql75SVtfTOJsswD07EqH8FSVHh2l24IMs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zNmE0/NjM0ZGNkZTYwNGRi/NWJjMjQ4MzM3ZWU5/OThjMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
