Jenna joined the MAS in the Spring of 2009 as an intern and became the Director of Operations in June of 2009. She attended Greenfield Community College where she studied Business Administration and earned an Associate's Degree in Science. She then continued on to the University of Massachusetts Amherst Isenberg School of Management, where she continued and completed her studies in Management. She brings a unique perspective to the MAS because of her "non-sciencey" background, but is developing a deep appreciation for and interest in science. Jenna's passion lies mostly in science outreach - bringing the wonders of science to students, teachers, and parents.
