Curriculum vitae:
Present MS Student, Biological Sciences, University of North Texas
2009 BS, Environmental Science, University of Central Arkansas
Jenny was born in Stuttgart, Arkansas and raised in central Arkansas where her love of nature and the outdoors sprouted. As a child, Jenny enjoyed many outdoor activities such as canoeing, kayaking, fishing, mountain climbing, camping, horseback riding, and backpacking. She also had a strong desire to offer love and compassion for animals and people in need. Throughout her experiences, Jenny quickly came to realize that she must choose a career which allowed her to incorporate her desire to enhance the lives of both man and nature.
As an undergraduate at UCA, Jenny was involved in many different research studies as a student worker by conducting fieldwork and organizing data. She was very lucky to receive two scholarships from The Arkansas Game and Fish Committee and the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality in order to offer financial assistance to complete her degree. In addition, she spent the last eight months of her time at UCA conducting research involving life history traits of the Northern Snakehead, Channa argus. Because of this research opportunity, Jenny was allowed to present her data at the 2009 Southeastern Fishes Council Meeting.
After receiving her bachelor degree at UCA, Jenny relocated to Fayetteville, Arkansas where she volunteered at the Nature Conservancy and assisted with GIS studies. Jenny then found her new home in the DFW metroplex where she obtained a position working at an aquatic toxicology laboratory. After three years of working in toxicology, Jenny was convinced that this was the area of environmental science where she felt most dedicated. Jenny returned to graduate school in January 2014 to complete her educational goal of obtaining a MS in biology. She is currently working on her proposal to conduct research concerning PAH toxicity and the effects of multi stress components on Daphnia magna.
Jenny lives in Little Elm, TX with her husband, daughter, and son.
