Between 2020 and 2025, she was a remote Associate Lecturer in animal welfare/ethics at the then Centre for Animal Welfare at the University of Winchester.

Focus areas
Jenny’s training and subsequent experience is in the often interrelated and overlapping fields of animal welfare science, ethics, and law. She is interested in both a combined focus on two or all three of these strands, in addition to a singular focus on just one of these strands. Jenny is committed to the promotion of recognising premature death/killing as a welfare problem. Her interests and experience are interdisciplinary and span multiple species and all stages of life—especially regarding farmed animals. A particular focal point, especially for pro-bono work, is ex-commercial chicken care. She cares for two rescue cats, one Romanian-rescue dog, and five ex-laying hens. View her full portfolio.
