In 1991, Dr. Jenkins received a B.S. degree in chemistry from North Carolina A & T State University where she was an active member of her campus community (Undergraduate Research Assistant in Chemistry, Gospel Choir, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Ms. NC A&T campus queen, etc.). In 1997, Dr. Jenkins graduated from Loyola University of Chicago with a Ph.D. in chemistry.  Majoring in “biophysical chemistry”, Dr. Jenkins was 1 in 8 African American women across the country to receive a doctorate's degree in chemistry in the year 1997.  This young research scientist from Selma, North Carolina, spent her twenties researching the biomolecular dysfunctions of Sickle Cell Disease.  Her publications and presentations have included, "Kinetics of the Oxidative Reactions in Hemoglobin/Lipid Vesicle Mixtures", and  "pH and Osmolality Effects on Lipid-enhanced Sickle and Normal Hemoglobin Oxidation".  Dr. Jenkins spent the last 6 years as a Professor of Biophysical Chemistry at Columbia College of Chicago where she taught courses like "The Biology of AIDS", "Chemistry in Daily Life", and "College Algebra".  She is an active member of several professional organizations-the  American Public Health Association, American Chemical Society, Association of College and University Biology Educators (ACUBE), etc. In 1991, Dr. Jenkins appeared in Jet and Ebony magazine for her outstanding achievements.

After losing several family members to “preventable” cases of cancer, including her younger brother, Ebony (1998) and her father (2003), Dr. Jenkins has devoted her life to a profession that not only educates the mind about healing of the body, but one that feeds the soul and heals the spirit.   

Dr. Jenkins' most recent work is the publication of a health book entitled African American Health Disparities, which includes 2 music recordings entitled, “The Lord's Prayer” and “Heaven”.  Dr. Jenkins dedicates her work to all who suffer illness.

By no mistake, this scientist is blessed with the gift of song and intends to use her recording career as a platform to promote health awareness, particularly among African Americans.  She often states, "I am a scientist by training, but I am a singer by divine design". So, as a scientist, an educator, and a vocalist, Dr. Jenkins asserts that true healing is holistic-physical, mental, and spiritual. Her goal is to use her talents to inspire a community of people who are not only committed to their physical health, but also people who are committed to their spiritual health and well-being.

Dr. Jenkins has gained the support of  “The National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer (NBLIC)”, a division of the National Cancer Institute, in her health education campaign.
