Biography
Professional Experience
Jenna Crabb has worked in Student Affairs for over 20 years. She started her career at the University of New Mexico in 1989 as a student. While attending undergraduate classes, Jenna worked in the residence hall system as a desk attendant, a resident advisor, and a student head resident, each with increasing responsibility and expectations. After graduating with her bachelor’s degree in Criminology and English, Jenna worked as a Human Resource Specialist at a residential treatment facility for at-risk youth. Yet, something was missing. She missed the energy and vitality of a university setting. She quickly got a position at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas; but again, she missed UNM. After one year in Texas, Jenna returned to UNM to start her career and ultimately found her passion in Student Affairs. In 2002, Jenna obtained her Master’s degree in Counseling while working for six years as an Area Coordinator in the residence halls. Currently Jenna is the Interim Dean of Students, the Director of Career Services and adjunct faculty for the Counselor Education program; she has worked in Career Services for 14 years from a career development facilitator, to the career counseling manager and then the last 10 years as the Director of Career Services. Jenna earned her doctorate in Counselor Education with an emphasis in Organizational Learning and Instructional Technologies. Being a student first and student centered professional is important to Jenna and is at the heart of why she is here at UNM and in Student Affairs.
