Bio
Eliet Henderson
I worked with Jen on translating the organization's science-based work into easily understandable communications to the public. Jen was able to take policy and science-oriented information and provide explanations that would make sense to the average reader/listener. It's a great (and sometimes rare) skill for a scientist!
Kristen A. Goodrich PhD
Jen has the uncommon gift of being able to clearly communicate science and link it to decision-making. She has a keen sense of how to build partnerships, listen to other perspectives, and integrate them into inclusive solutions. I've worked with Jen in both promoting resiliency and balancing adaptation strategies for built and natural resources in San Diego Bay, and demonstrating the power of visualizing sea level rise impacts on our coast through the California King Tides Initiative. Jen is equally as skilled as a scientist as she is a collaborator.
