Jenny Dresler

PSM Program: Environmental Sciences
Graduation Date: Spring 2011
Previous Education: B.A. in Biology, Minor in Chemistry, Baylor University
Profile:

My undergraduate education emphasis was in vertebrate anatomy and physiology as well as evolution.  I worked on a senior thesis project at Baylor in the field of medical entomology, researching mosquito population density as related to weather patterns in McLennan County, Texas.   My experiences in Texas opened my eyes to the importance of environmental science and public policy, and I realized the need to integrate my interest in science with professional skills. In the near future, I hope to be involved with public policy-making, especially coastal communities, and environmental consulting.  I believe that the PSM program will help me achieve these future career goals.
