Jenn was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. She graduated from Colorado State University in 2018 with a BS in Biochemistry and Minor in Business Administration. During that time, she worked under Dr. Gerrit Bouma studying mechanisms of androgen signaling. Her post-baccalaureate research was conducted under Dr. Mandy Katz-Jaffe at the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine. In March 2022, Jenn joined the Baldridge lab and Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Michigan where she is now focused on the degradation of membrane bound ERAD substrates.
