Meet Jenna Doren.
When the COVID‑19 pandemic forced her university experience online, Jenna had to rethink what learning looked like as she balanced full‑time work with her studies at the University of Pretoria. By combining traditional study habits with digital learning tools, Jenna gained greater flexibility, confidence and independence in her education—skills that proved essential both academically and professionally. What began as an unexpected shift ultimately strengthened her ability to navigate new technologies, manage competing responsibilities and prepare for the evolving demands of the modern workforce. Today, Jenna views her education as a source of purpose, self‑worth and opportunity—demonstrating how accessible, flexible learning can empower learners to build resilience, develop career‑ready skills and create pathways to long‑term success.
