Professional/Academic Experience
Hello everyone, my name is Joelle Jenkins and my major is Environmental and Sustainability
Studies with a minor in biology. I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. My passion
is ecology, environmental science, and sociology. Outside of McNair, I have taken
pride in being involved in my community as much as possible. The past two years I
have taken on the different roles of Green Team Coordinator, Public Relations Officer,
and President with the Student Leadership for Environmental Action Fund (Student LEAF)
here on campus. I am also the Benedict Ornithology Lab Illustrator and Graphic Designer.
After finishing my undergrad, I hope to get my masters or Ph.D. in Sociology with
the goal of pursuing a career in environmental sociology after I am finished with
school. My overall goal is to get different cultural and social groups involved with
the environment. Fun fact: my favorite animal is a spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta)
because their social structure is one of the most unique out of the entire animal
kingdom.
