About Jenna Brende
I am a Fulbright Scholar with a Master of Arts and Culture with a specialization in Art, Literature, and Society at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. I am constantly seeking ways in which I can use my passion for education, mentoring, and creativity. As a first-generation college student, I have always found a passion for the humanities and the various ways in which people can relate to and learn from them. My MA thesis focused on the ways in which we can teach and learn from literature to feel a sense of belonging to our identities and our communities. Because it took a lot of exploration to declare my English major and the many mentors I had along the way, I thrive on mentoring others and helping people build on their strengths and skills. I have mentored others in many roles, including my current role at Fly Fitness as an assistant manager, as Academic & Internship Advisor for the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts, as the inaugural Student Success Coordinator for the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts, as a Recruitment Specialist for NEBRASKA Admissions, and in the roles I held in and just after my undergraduate career. I always seek to use my creativity and passion for mentorship to recognize and help others find their sense of belonging, whether it is to their university, workplace, or community. As a life long learner (see below - my top Clifton Strength), I will always continue researching and sharing ideas for creative ways to help people be their best selves.I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with Distinction in May 2017 with my Bachelor of Arts in English. I graduated as a Fulbright Scholar from Maastricht University in the Netherlands in August 2020. learner | input | relator | intellection | arranger
