<p>Jenika is an Engineer at&nbsp;Forell Elsesser with a passion for structural engineering and creating a more sustainable built environment. Jenika was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and stayed close to home for college, attending San Francisco State University.&nbsp; At SFSU, Jenika earned her Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and Master’s degree in Earthquake/Structural engineering. She took her passion for sustainability and focused her thesis research on the seismic performance of structures with vegetated roofs. As part of the SFSU and greater Bay Area structural engineering community, she published a thesis paper “Effects of Green Roof Configuration on Structural Seismic Response,” and contributed to other published works that followed. During her time at SFSU, Jenika also stayed involved in the larger engineering community by serving as Vice President of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) SFSU chapter. Now, as a professional engineer in the industry, Jenika has been a part of the leadership team that created the SE Pathways Program, chairing the committee from 2023-2025. Recognizing the importance of DEI and career retention in the structural engineering profession, the SE Pathways program focuses efforts on students and early career professionals to foster a community of like-minded engineers and address barriers and challenges they might face in the industry.</p>



<p>Outside of work, Jenika enjoys exploring San Francisco, hiking along the Peninsula with her dog, themed baking, and gaming.</p>
