INTERESTS & SPECIALISMS

As well as a passion for informing, inspiring and motivating people through the written word for worthy causes, such as health and wellbeing enhancement, Jayna’s a big fan of putting the nuggets of information she picks up working at Evergreen into action. These include making small swaps to lead a healthier lifestyle. So far, since working at Evergreen, she’s ditched cordial juice for water, switched from white bread to brown and has now tried brown rice and has to say, she personally thinks there’s not much difference in taste!
