Jenna Parkolap is an Associate Attorney at Carolina Family Estate Planning, where she focuses on helping families make confident choices about their futures. She values building lasting relationships with clients, listening to their stories, and helping them make choices that reflect their wishes and protect their loved ones. Licensed in both North Carolina and South Carolina, Jenna considers her dual licensure one of her most meaningful professional milestones, as it reflects her commitment to growing her expertise and supporting others.
Jenna grew up in a small town outside of Syracuse, New York, and studied at Nazareth University in Rochester before moving to Raleigh to attend Campbell University School of Law. A fun fact about Jenna is that she once met President Obama when he visited her high school; an experience she’ll never forget.
She and her husband, Nick, have made Sanford, NC, their home, raising their daughter, Roslyn, along with their three dogs (Jager, Maple, and Sugar) and their cat, Olive. Outside of work, Jenna enjoys homesteading, whether it’s tending a vegetable garden, canning homemade sauces and pickles, or baking fresh bread. She also loves traveling, and says the Milford Sound in New Zealand is her favorite place on earth after studying a semester abroad in Australia. When it’s time to relax, Jenna can often be found playing board games (Catan is a favorite), watching a good Hallmark movie, or cheering on the Buffalo Bills and her favorite UFC fighters.
Jenna describes herself as collaborative, authentic, and compassionate, qualities that guide how she practices law and how she connects with the families she serves.
