Career
Järnefelt entered the Helsinki Theatre Academy right from high school in 1983. There, she began studying in the dance line. In her own words, a career as a professional dancer proved too demanding, both physically and mentally. She managed to switch to an acting career.{{cite web | url = https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2010/08/10/miten-minusta-tuli-mina-jonna-jarnefelt#media=48485 | title = Miten minusta tuli minä, Jonna Järnefelt | author = Kemppi, Emilia | work = Yle Elävä arkisto | date = 10 August 2010 | location = Helsinki | publisher = Yleisradio Oy | accessdate = 24 November 2011}} She graduated from the HTA in 1988, after which she was attached to the Lilla Teatern.{{cite web | url = http://www.manari.fi/ohjelmat/jonna_jarnefelt.htm | title = Jonna Järnefelt ja Jukka Leppilampi | location = Veikkola | publisher = Ohjelmatoimisto Manari Oy | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070928110313/http://www.manari.fi/ohjelmat/jonna_jarnefelt.htm | archivedate = 28 September 2007 | date = 4 November 2006}}
