TreeHugger Welcomes Writer Jenna Watson
by Jenna Watson, Barcelona on 10.29.06
After leaving Sault Ste. Marie to gallivant about the world with a musical
troupe, Jenna returned to Canada to complete a Bachelor of Environmental
Studies where she spent five years trying to shake the hippy tag that is
stuck to the greenest faculty at Waterloo. She crossed the pond again
to spend an enlightening, yet rainy year doing her M.Sc. in environmental
assessment (EA) & management at Oxford Brookes
University.
Although her passion is EA Jenna has spent the last four years working mainly in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). She began at a small Catalan consulting firm, managing European and national projects, before breaking out into the scary world of freelancing. Jenna is a partner in the Spanish eco-design platform Good for Environment! and has guest lectured at various Spanish universities on LCA and eco-design related topics.
Jenna loves tending to her organic garden, building cozy fires, reading, watching indie films, listening to records, learning Catalan, translating ridiculously long hydrology reports, seeking out cool street art and admiring the accomplishments of her friends. She lives in Barcelona with her husband, Ricardo, and their plants.
