Family/Early life
At age 8 she moved to New Zealand with her father, Richard Walters, and her mother, Mavis Clark. Richard Walters is a professor in Willabong University of New Zealand (or WUNZ). He specializes in the field of the Greco-Roman Classical Period. Mavis Clark, who kept her maiden name, is a published fiction writer. She has written such books as, “The Cloverfield”.
Currently only 26, Jenny heads the organization C.H.A.K.R.A.M. which she quickly established as the leading authority in mythology studies across the world.
Her older sister, Nikki, comments,
“We’re all very proud of her. It seems only just yesterday that she was playing with her toy chakram and watching Xena. I still remember how she would run around doing Xena’s battle cry. (Laughs) She wanted us to call her Ephiny because it was her favorite Amazon. Xena had a great impact on her life.”

C.H.A.K.R.A.M. (Center for Historical Accuracy of Key Research in Ancient Mythology)
At age 23, just after completing her study of archeology and whilst working with professor Katsikonouris on researching Greco-Roman Mythology, Jenny went on to create the organization, C.H.A.K.R.A.M.
“We here at C.H.A.K.R.A.M. strive to verify to what extent mythology is based and derived from true events in history. Furthermore, we aim to salvage and record the unwritten mythological record from across the world for posterity.” – Jenny Walters

C.H.A.K.R.A.M. International
Over the years C.H.A.K.R.A.M.’s research and verification work has spread around the world from New Zealand to Italy, Greece, countries in South America, mainly Colombia and Mexico, and the Southeastern Asian area where ground breaking work has been accomplished in collecting and recording on paper for the first time the spoken mythological record of Indonesia. Jenny has gone to thousands of conventions to spread C.H.A.K.R.A.M.’s message and promote its work.

“A Search for Xena”
Soon after her success with C.H.A.K.R.A.M., Jenny created a TV Show out to search for known Xena sites around New Zealand. So far only 4 episodes have been produced. Several planned future episodes are said to feature Lucy Lawless, Renee O’ Connor and Ted Raimi in person. In the second episode, Jenny visited the grave of Kevin Smith, who portrayed the character Ares, God of War, in the TV production of Xena: Warrior Princess.
