“The smallest actions may have a lot of weight”
 
Jenna chose her master’s thesis topic because she was interested in air quality and how it affects the population. She cares because it affects people and people want to know about air quality and what they can do to protect themselves and others. She wants to be aware of the health implications of our changing/evolving climate and what she can do. She wants people to know that the smallest actions may have a lot of weight when it comes to learning about our climate and actions we can pursue. 

Jenna, from Butte, Montana, wanted to go to MT Tech since she was a little girl. Her father is an alumnus, and she had many field trip opportunities while in primary school touring Tech. It has been a dream of hers to attend college and she feels fortunate that one of the best STEM universities was right in her hometown. 
 
She pursued a bachelor's degree in biological sciences to learn more about the human body anatomy and physiology. She then pursued a master’s degree in Industrial Hygiene as she wanted to learn how to prevent occupational related illnesses. So, I where I have learned about ergonomics, aerosol science, toxicology, respiratory protections, community/occupational noise, and various sampling techniques to determine if a workplace is in compliance with standards, in order to protect workers and send them home safely to their families. 
 
I enjoy the outdoors, I really enjoy recreational sports, and I love to travel. I am so lucky to call Montana home. I am going to start working full time in Texas starting in summer 2024. I will be working at ConocoPhillips in the Health, Safety, and Environmental group. I am hoping to learn more about the company's net zero emissions and be a part of their movement.
