About Jennifer Zhuang
I’m an economics intern at the NOAA Coastal Services Center in Charleston, South Carolina. I work on the ENOW (Economics: National Ocean Watch) team analyzing the ocean-related economy and providing technical support. It’s a great opportunity for me to learn and practice my skills to become an applied economist. I also fell in love with Charleston because of the people, the weather, the food, the beaches…I think my work and my life now fit my Chinese first name very well, which means “peaceful ocean.”
I came to the U.S. in 2010 and got my masters of natural resource economics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2012. Before that, I studied regional development at China Agricultural University in Beijing.
