I chose to work at Westminster because it reminds me of my own liberal arts undergraduate experience, which was hugely impactful. I love working with undergraduate students, graduate students, and alumni to help them understand the ins and outs of education and employment and how to bridge the gap between. I find a particular pleasure helping others navigate complex systems and expectations, which my job allows me to do each day. As a first-generation college student, I didn't know who to ask for help or how to "do college", so I find it hugely rewarding to serve in that capacity for others now that I know the ropes.</p></about-me><interests><p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">I enjoy books and films that take me to imaginary places, spending time with my fluffy puppy (who is actually an old lady), visiting any zoo/aquarium/or aviary I can because I'm an enormous animal nerd, and traveling to new places.</p></interests><social-media><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/trishajensen/">LinkedIn</a></social-media><website/><image><img src="/_resources/images/default-source/directory-profile-images/trisha-jensen.jpg" alt="Trisha Jensen"/></image><areas-of-expertise/><cv> </cv><publications/><awards/><student-success/><department-filter/><DEPARTMENT_FILTERS/></item>
