About Jenna

Since graduating college in 2015 from Temple University in Philadelphia, Jenna has begun her career as an Architectural Designer with Matiz Architecture and Design in the Flatiron District of New York City. Since moving to the city, Jenna is often wandering or biking the urban streets of Manhattan in pursuit of career and personal endeavors.

Architecture is not just a career path, but a mindset in the way one process' thoughts and behaviors of the inhabitants of our physical spaces. With growing interests in environmental design, urban planning, and anthropology, Jenna continues to find new avenues of exploration in the city.


With a degree in Architecture and General Business Studies, and a certificate in Designing Cities, Jenna seeks advancement in the field's capability to bridge the gap between the social sciences and the creation of space. Seeing the success of collaboration among these, Jenna seeks opportunities that explore cross-disciplinary studies and initiatives aimed at the benefit of human interaction and health.
