Office of Sustainability

Jenna is a junior from Middlefield, CT majoring in Environmental Engineering and minoring in Construction Engineering and Management. She is the Secretary of the UConn Chapter of the Society of Women Engineers as well as the President and Co-Founder of The UConn Chapter of the Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists. This past summer, Jenna worked as an Environmental Engineering Intern at Wright-Pierce on the wastewater team where she learned about the phases of an engineering project, saw the insides of many manholes, and learned the ins and outs of engineering consulting. Outside of engineering, Jenna enjoys reading, cooking, running with her friends, and playing the saxophone for UConn’s athletic bands. Jenna is very excited to return for her 3rd year as a Sustainability Outreach Intern and hopes to continue to spread the OS’s message to more UConn students!
