Ashley Jennings

Ashley comes from a background of sensory biology, earning a Master’s degree studying olfactory thresholds in small sharks (or how well sharks smell) in New England. During this time, Ashley began working with underserved youth at Boston University, where fell in love with teaching and being creative with instructional design. Since joining Science in Society in 2016, she has coordinated Science Club, worked on the Silverstien, and collaborated on Broader Impacts initiatives, among others, but her passion is working with youth and in the Evanston and Chicago communities.

Ashley enjoys traveling, food, and spending time with her friends, family, and furry friends: Purple, Sheba, Bow, and Neef.
