Jenna Duke
English Major
Denver,CO
Summary
I am an English major at the Community College of Denver with plans to transfer to Metropolitan State University of Denver in fall 2022. I work closely with the journalism program due to my goals of working in the magazine industry as an editor after graduation. I am very goal-driven, self-motivated, and have a passion for nonfiction writing. I am trained in fast-paced work environments in regards to producing content quickly and the food service industry. Due to my experience in working with children, I am caring and attentive; but I am able to get things done efficiently and coherently.
