As Saint Martha’s finance manager, Jenny Elliott may work “behind the scenes,” but she’s an integral part of Saint Martha’s operation. With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit accounting, Jenny manages all aspects of our finances, including budget creation, cashflow, payroll, taxation and financial reporting.

Jenny has wide international experience having studied and worked abroad for 13 years in the U.K., Qatar, and Jordan, including as the Director of Finance at University College London’s campus in Qatar. In 2017, she returned to St. Louis to be closer to family, and began working as CFO at J-Kem Scientific and International Development Consultant at UK-based Manion Daniels. Jenny has been working for Saint Martha’s since 2022 and enjoys not only managing the books, but also collaborating, strategic thinking, and problem solving.


Every human interaction offers you the chance to make things better or to make things worse.
