About Dr. Walker

Dr. Jenny Walker is a speaker, consultant and expert on cyberbullying and positive uses of technology among youth. She is a proponent of confidential online polling of young people in specific local schools to give stakeholders (educators, parents, students, community members) ownership, and to show specific areas for immediate intervention.

She is also a graduate of an educational professional certification program at the University of Phoenix.  She has taught Senior British literature, College Composition and English, and has served at a residential group home for teen girls.

For over twenty-five years, Dr. Walker has held key positions in business and finance institutions in London, Hong Kong, and the United States.  In the last decade, she has transitioned to her passion for helping young people.

Born and raised in Derbyshire, England, her early professional life was in London and Hong Kong, with business dealings involving various European countries, particularly Spain, France, Italy and the Czech Republic. Her experiences have led her to travel extensively throughout Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Mexico and the United States.
