Graduate Student
Jenny Rempel is a graduate student in the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley, where she studies water governance and environmental justice. Her work is rooted in her experiences growing up in Fresno and working alongside San Joaquin Valley communities organizing for access to safe, clean, and affordable drinking water. As a researcher, she uses a range of quantitative and qualitative approaches to improve our understanding of the patterns and drivers of inequitable water access at multiple scales. She engages in action research to provide residents, organizers, and decision-makers with information that strengthens and uplifts community-driven solutions to water challenges.
