Who we are

Jenna Gray

Project Coordinator

Jenna joined the New Zealand Football Foundation in October 2025 as an Intern and is leading the project to install AEDs (defibrillators) in football clubs across Aotearoa. In this role, she liaises with regional football bodies and local clubs nationwide to enhance player safety and community wellbeing.

She is currently completing a Master of Arts in Politics and International Relations, with a research focus on the intersection of football and global politics. Jenna’s academic background informs her understanding of how football operates within wider social and political contexts.

Through this internship, Jenna seeks to apply her research insights to practical community initiatives and develop skills in project coordination and stakeholder engagement across New Zealand's football landscape.
