Biography

Jenna Deutch is a sophomore from Olney, MD studying psychology and criminology at the University of Maryland. Her interests include painting, playing the piano, and writing poetry. She aims to help others find ways to combat their anxiety using these art forms, as they are calming and expressive. Her paintings are of nature because that is where she finds herself at peace the majority of the time. Her piano playing and poetry communicate to others the deep emotions she holds in. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and criminology, she plans to get her doctorate degree in psychology in order to better serve the public and help with mental health in people of all ages.
