Jenna Walker is a Wyoming native and a proud graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. After graduating college, she returned to Wyoming to work in the secondary school setting and also had the opportunity to serve as an adjunct instructor for Gillette College.

In September of 2020, she welcomed her first child, Sayge, and made the decision to finish out the school year before transitioning into being a stay-at-home mom. However, Jenna wasn’t ready to fully step away from athletic training, so she founded her own company to provide contract services for tournaments and to teach Care & Prevention of Athletic Injuries. She is the proud owner and founder of Sports Medicine Pros LLC and has found great fulfillment in this work. Through her company, she continues to make a positive impact across Wyoming by helping coaches obtain their Wyoming coaching credentials.
 

Jenna has served on the RMATA Board of Directors for 10 years—first as the Wyoming
President and more recently as Secretary. Prior to that, she held various leadership roles
beginning in 2010 and currently also serves on the Wyoming SMAC board. One of her most significant leadership accomplishments has been successfully updating the Wyoming Athletic Training Practice Act. With limited financial resources and no ability to hire a lobbyist, the WyoATA Board took on the legislative process themselves, working closely with the bill sponsor. Jenna played an active role in testifying before committee hearings and maintained consistent communication with legislators to monitor progress and address potential opposition. Despite the challenges, the bill successfully passed both chambers and was signed into law by the Governor in early 2021—an outcome that reflected the group’s persistence, preparation, and commitment to the profession.

Jenna’s dedication to her profession and professional associations has remained a driving force throughout her career. In 2024, she was recognized for this commitment by receiving the WyoATA Sage Award, honoring those “distinguished for wisdom.”
 

Jenna and her husband are the proud parents of Sayge and Kayah. They enjoy spending time outdoors, playing cards, and being together as a family. At their core, they share a passion for entrepreneurship and are always looking forward to the next adventure.
