US Engineering Dean

Ms Jensen joined Santa Catalina in 2025 as our full time Engineering Dean a major part of whose duties include being the Head Coach and Mentor for our FIRST Robotics team.

She has been involved with the FIRST Robotics Competition since her early high school days and was founder of another girls-only robotics team, 6418 the Missfits, in San Francisco in her senior year. She’s an Engineering graduate from the prestigious Olin College of Engineering and taught engineering in middle school before working as an engineer at Collins Aerospace.
