A recent implant from California, Jennie moved to DC with the hope of joining the political storm of the city. She currently works at the National Youth Advocacy Coalition. With her recent degree from the University of California Santa Barbara in Political Science and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer Studies fueled her path to advocate and educate for social justice issues. While in school, Jennie was involved with much of the queer, racial, and economic justice organizing on campus.

Jennie's time spent working for the Youth Advocacy and Leadership Institute, an activist education camp for LGBTQ youth, sparked her passion for working for the LGBTQ youth and youth of color. She also led UCSB's Queer Commission and interned at the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity during her campus career. During her final quarter of study, Jennie interned at the National Youth Advocacy Coalition, an organization serving LGBTQ youth and youth service organizations, and earned an award for her research and writing on the Non Profit Industrial Complex in the LGBTQ movement. As a New Leaders Fellow, Jennie will be returning to the National Youth Advocacy Coalition as a staff member.
