Senior Spotlight: Jenny Green
By Andrew Tie
Hear how graduating ECE senior Jenny Green developed a love for teaching through her work as a teaching assistant in the Signals and Systems lab.
Jenny Green is an electrical and computer engineering (ECE) and math major in the class of 2025. She has been a teaching assistant for the Signals and Systems (ECE 280L) lab for the last four semesters. She enjoys being a TA because she can share her passion for ECE topics and see students’ growth over time.
As a student at Duke, Jenny has taken advantage of the many opportunities outside of engineering. She’s an active member of Hoof ‘n’ Horn, the student-run musical theater group on campus, and also takes voice lessons.
She didn’t enter college wanting to pursue a career in academia, but as she interacted with professors and graduate students who were passionate about teaching and research, she began to see that path for herself too. In the fall, Jenny will start a PhD program in applied mathematics at the University of Washington that balances her love of math while staying grounded in application.
