Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD)
Jenny Alexander has been part of the Giddings State School team since October 2002, building a career marked by dedication, adaptability, and compassion. Over the past 23 years, she has navigated major transitions—including the move to electronic medical records, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and numerous operational changes—while continuing to provide exceptional care.
Jenny has served in multiple capacities, including Psychiatric Clinic Nurse Coordinator, Immunization Nurse Coordinator, and trainer for Code Blue alongside JCO staff. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she played a key role in vaccinating staff and students in collaboration with her Facility Nurse Manager, Amber Reese, RN, BSN, MSN.
In 2022, Jenny earned her Associate Degree in Nursing from Blinn Community College’s inaugural cohort program and successfully passed the State Board exam shortly thereafter. She has since served as Nurse Coordinator for Health Services, a role she has held for the past two years. Jenny credits her success and longevity at Giddings to the strong collaboration and support of her fellow nurses and TJJD staff, all committed to providing the highest level of care for students.
Outside of work, Jenny enjoys spending time with family and friends at the beach, by the pool, fishing, watching football, taking wildlife photos, or simply relaxing on the front porch. She looks forward to continuing to collaborate with colleagues through the Employee Advisory Council.
