About the Speaker: Maria Jensen

As a young adult I got involved in environmental activism and completed a Master's degree in Global Health at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).I published my master's research on risk perceptions of occupational exposure to mercury during the e-waste recycling process, a project that I completed in Bogota, Colombia in 2019.

In 2020 I started as Environment Health and Safety Specialist and now focus mostly on advocacy for environmental issues at the State level.

I recently collaborated on a study to quantify how many pounds of precious metals (and toxic metals) are present in Minnesota's e-waste stream, and I am currently working on legislation to remake Minnesota's e-waste collection system.
