As a Barrie family lawyer, Kenna has appeared at all levels of court in Ontario and although her practice is taking her to the courtroom often for conferences, summaries, motions and trials, she also uses collaborative and alternative processes to reach agreements that are mutually beneficial for all parties involved.

During her career, she has dealt extensively in cases pertaining to equalization of net family property, child and spousal support, drafting of and advice on marriage contracts (pre-nups), separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, financial statements, court applications and written argument for litigation matters. Particularly, Kenna has been accredited for her reasonable approach to resolving family law issues in the area of Children's law and has been involved in many difficult and noteworthy cases involving Children's Aid Society.

She serves as a panel member for the Office of Children's Lawyer, County Simcoe, Ontario where she acts as counsel and represents children clients under both the CLRA and CFSA.

Kenna is also actively involved as a volunteer for various causes including community outreach, charitable events, and currently serves as vice chair and board member for the Barrie Women and Children's shelter.
