Jenny Carpenter

Director, Contracting

With over 15 years of experience in legal, contract negotiation, and compliance, Jenny joined Healthy Alliance to help bridge the gap between systems and people, driven by her belief that everyone deserves quality health care programs. Her background enables her to navigate complex contract negotiations while championing just, community-centered solutions. In addition to her professional work, Jenny volunteers with Make-A-Wish, helping bring hope and joy to children facing critical illnesses. Outside of work, she’s an avid rock and ice climber, a proud Adirondack 46er, and a licensed New York State wildlife rehabilitator specializing in small mammals — particularly squirrels. Whether she’s scaling a peak, granting a wish, or caring for an orphaned squirrel, Jenny brings the same passion, compassion, and dedication to everything she does.
