✨GRAD SCHOOL STAFF SPOTLIGHT✨

If you are a grad student or faculty member in the College of Arts & Letters, College of Science & Engineering, or navigating the Non-Degree world, Jenny is your ultimate go-to person! As your Graduate Program Manager, she handles everything from application questions and policy decoding to ensuring you graduate on time and supporting student retention.
Quick Stats:

Roots: A true PNW lifer—raised in Oregon and survived over a decade in Washington, with a brief detour into San Diego’s tech scene to acquire some elite customer service skills. (Pro tip: Contact her if you are heading to San Diego and she will tell you exactly where to get the absolute best fish tacos.)

Off the Clock: Exploring with her husband and twin daughters, which mostly translates to standing outside in whatever wild weather Idaho throws at them, questioning her life choices while aggressively cheering at her girls' soccer games.

Deployment Tested: As a spouse to a retired Navy submariner, she mastered being hyper-adaptable and going with the flow. If she can survive deployment schedules, she can handle any grad school crisis you throw at her!

Favorite ISU Perk: Watching students blow minds at the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) and Research Symposium. She is genuinely fascinated by the research happening here.

Her Role in 3 Words: Mission: Graduation Day
