Jenn was primarily drawn to the field of civil and water resources engineering for its ability to directly benefit communities via forward-thinking, inclusive, and resilient projects. In her 19 years of experience, Jenn has provided civil engineering, stormwater, and watershed planning and design for institutional, municipal, and commercial projects. She specializes in tailoring sustainable stormwater management techniques to site-specific conditions in urban and rural environments, including roadways, private and public developments, and public open space. This includes the design of green infrastructure practices to meet the challenges of climate change. As Director of Nitsch Engineering’s Resilience Planning & Design group, she has successfully designed these systems at the site, neighborhood, and watershed scale to increase resilience and meet local and state stormwater and water quality regulations.
“I love building relationships with clients, project partners, and community stakeholders, solving problems, and bringing lasting change to communities.”
