SEMA: What is the best advice you have ever received?
Jenna Jefferies: Have the courage to live a life true to yourself, not the life others expect of you.
SEMA: What keeps you involved in this industry?
JJ: The automotive industry is a giant family. The support I receive from my colleagues is incredible. I grew up around cars and racing, and to now have the opportunity to share my passion of the industry is amazing. Plus, I get paid to do what I love!
SEMA: On a Saturday, where can you be found?
JJ: At an off-road race, working a car or truck show or spending time with family and friends.
SEMA: How do you prepare for an important meeting?
JJ: Making sure to have a smile on my face, taking notes and making eye contact. I want the individuals I am meeting with to know I am giving them my undivided attention.
SEMA: If you could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, who would it be?
JJ: Linda Vaughn. I would love to hear her experiences in the automotive industry, from when she began her career to the present.
