Bio
Elena Hoffman
I had the pleasure of being Jennifer's direct supervisor at Passarella & Associates, Inc. She was thoughtful, enthusiastic and hardworking. I watched her grow as an ecologist to the point where she could manage her own projects with minimal oversight. She worked well with others and in extreme conditions. I know she would be an asset to any employer.
