Jenny was one of the research coordinators at Hurley around the start of the Flint water crisis. In 2015, Mona and Jenny began collaborating on data spreads that would show how blood-lead levels had spiked throughout Flint since the water source was switched in 2014. The two women found that they were an unstoppable team, as Jenny’s dedication, attention, and passion mirrored Mona’s. An inquisitive, sensitive person, Jenny helped Mona come up with ways to refine and strengthen their research so that it would tell the story of what was happening in Flint on behalf of its vulnerable residents.

It was real, something that was happening all around us, the blood of our own patients, and water that flowed in the pipes of our own city where we sat. The residents were engaged in a way I’d rarely seen before, vibrating with a weird new energy, tense but invigorated by the feeling that we were finally doing something. And our results weren’t going to be stuffed away in a digital archive and forgotten. Our results could change our world.
