Jen first came to OSU to earn a PhD in the history of art, where she wrote a dissertation on public sculpture in late 19th-century Paris. Since then, she has taught art history, worked as a barista at a Fair Trade coffee shop, and managed a local feminist gift shop. She still likes to look at public art, but now just recreationally by going on walks with her big, beautiful dog Lulu.
