Paulina Jenney was born and raised in Flagstaff, Arizona. Since her 2016 graduation from the University of Arizona with degrees in environmental studies and creative writing, she has worked as a farmhand, builder, bartender, and caretaker across the Americas. She has served a Fulbright year in Gijón, Spain and received a master’s degree from the University of Montana. When not in front of a book or a blank page, she can be found paragliding, practicing yoga, and running races for which she is terribly under-prepared. Paulina’s blogs, Notes Across the Andes, have been published in Terrain.org and Conservation International. She currently serves as an outreach program manager at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
