Main Article: 
Following the in late August, 2552, her father, now a Lieutenant Commander, had moved his family to Cleveland indefinitely, as he believed the Luna would likely be attacked before Earth. In November of that year, the Covenant began an attack on the city. Learning of a Spartan team deployed in the city, he reached out, begging they rescue his family. At some point during the battle, a Brute had broken into their home, questioning her mother of the location of . While watching in horror as the Brute terrorized her mother, a Spartan burst in the apartment, killing the Brute from behind, only saying three words before leading them out of the building. After ensuring the family was not harmed, the Spartan lead the family away from the heart of Cleveland. Picking up more and more survivors as they went, Jenn watched as the Spartan fought off hordes of Covenant, making a great impression on her, giving her a lifelong respect for Spartans. The group eventually made it out of the city, with the Spartan looking like a walking corpse. Boarding the first out, Jenn realized she never said thank you to the Spartan, wondering if she'd ever get the chance to do so. Arriving in London, she was greeted by her father, before being told she'd going straight to Luna after being checked out at a hospital, suffering only minor scrapes and bruises.

Three years after the end of the , Jenn was accepted to the Academy at Mare Nubium, studying medicine and medical science. She was accepted at seventeen years old, largely due to her fathers influence within the academy and her stellar academic record. Her first two years at the Academy were fairly normal, becoming proficient with weapons handling, and many other abilities typical of an officer in the USNC Navy. In November of her junior year, she requested a one year internship aboard a UNSC vessel, and after much pleading with her father, was assigned to UNSC Infinity as a medical intern. Three weeks after being accepted, she departed Mare Nubium for the UNSC's flagship which had returned to Earth following the a few months prior.
==UNSC Infinity==
Aboard the Infinity she became more of aid to the medical officers before being allowed to see and work on patients. Whilst the Infinity was prepping a return to Requiem, Jenn would be allowed to stay aboard for the deployment, as it allowed her to get hands on experience with combat casualties. 
===The Requiem Campaign===
Main Article: 
During the first few days of the campaign, Jenn attempted to be allowed down to the surface to treat wounded, an idea which was quickly stamped out by the lieutenant in charge of her, reminding Jenn, that she was just an intern. Sitting in an office when the first , Jenn's first reaction was to try and hide, but after realizing that wasn't option, she picked up a Magnum, doing what she could to protect her defenseless patients. In her stand against the invaders, she would eventually be wounded in her side, continuing to fight until she passing out. Upon waking up, Jenn now found herself a patient in the medical bay, being rescued by a team of Marines after the attack subsided a few minutes after she fell unconscious, later learning her actions had saved the lives of fifteen marines and a Spartan. As a result, despite her status as an intern, decided to award her a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, a Combat Action Ribbon, and a Purple Heart. After her first combat experience, Jenn decided that it was enough for her not to want to go down to the surface, instead focusing back on her studies, and her work in the medical bay. 
====The Impossible====
About a week after the campaign ended, a tall Spartan-III came seeking treatment for a burn he had received during the campaign. The two began chatting about the recent campaign, and Jenn, who'd decided to start flirting with the Spartan, mentioned she never got to thank the Spartan who saved her in Cleveland. The Spartan, Dan-G076, revealed he had been the one to save her in Cleveland, and then proceed to ask her out to dinner later that night. She agreed, on the deal he could provide proof it was him who had saved she and her mother. That night at dinner, Dan brought both his old and his Colonial Cross citation as proof. Convinced, the pair talked for hours, and thus a relationship began between them. The two would see each other almost everyday, with Dan enjoying his free time by pestering her at work.

When the Guardians began appearing across the universe, it became a blessing and a curse to Jenn, who was closing in on the end of her internship aboard the Infinity. A blessing in the sense that it allowed her to remain aboard the Infinity for the foreseeable future, and a curse in that while "graduating early" from the Academy at Mare Nubium, she never received a physical diploma, a graduation, or a school wide commissioning ceremony. Luckily, Captain Lasky was still able to obtain a commission for her through , allowing her to commission into the UNSC Navy aboard the Infinity as a medical Ensign, with Captain Lasky issuing her oath of office to her. She officially commissioned on October 31st, 2558.
