Jenna pursues research that aims to characterize and minimize environmental exposures that undermine child health in low-income countries. Working with communities, she develops and tests solutions to reduce exposures; as part of this work, she is also interested in educational and behavioral approaches to community engagement. Jenna’s dissertation work, as well as current research, focuses on heavy metal exposure in Bangladesh and mosquito-borne disease in Kenya. She holds a PhD in environment and resources from Stanford’s Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources; a master's degree in environmental engineering and global health from the University of Washington; and a bachelor's degree in biology from Carleton College.
