Jen began her career in marine science, studying ecosystems at the downstream end of the water cycle. Over time, her work has migrated upstream, where freshwater decisions shape everything from healthy rivers to resilient landscapes. Her appreciation of water started when she took up scuba diving as a kid, and she still prefers being in or on the water whenever possible. As a conservation manager, she oversees the rebates and coupons programs to help residents save water while creating functional and beautiful landscapes. When she is not working (or underwater), she can usually be found gardening with minimal water alongside her son or exploring San Antonio’s beautiful parks.
