Beyond PZ
Prior to joining PZ, Jenna received her bachelors in psychology and ran a student-run research and action lab. With experience in ethnographic and interview-based methods, her work examines how people make sense of uncertainty and seek connection in moments of change. Outside, she hosts community-based events for young adults, to create space for reflection, dialogue, and connection around often-unspoken topics.
