Jenner made her debut for the Firebirds in 2017 as a training partner, before being signed by the team permanently ahead of the 2018 season.[2] She won a spot in the starting seven for the first time that season in a match against the Giants, playing goal defence alongside prominent goal keeper Laura Geitz.[3] She established herself as integral player at the Firebirds that season, earning a call up to join the Australian Diamonds as a training partner prior to the September Quad Series and winning a bronze medal with the Australian Fast5 team at the end-of-year World Series event.[2][4] Jenner was recently selected in the Australian squad for the 2021 Constellation Cup,[5] which was played in New Zealand earlier this year.

Jenner grew up in Townsville and off the court continues to study a Bachelor of Health, Sport & Physical Education degree at The University of Queensland, as well as coaching young netballers.[6]
