Jennie Warmouth, a 2017 PhD graduate of the College of Education, recently had the trip of a lifetime when she headed to the Arctic to study polar bear. Warmouth’s PhD is in educational psychology and she specializes in human-animal interactions related to learning empathy. She is a recent recipient of the National Geographic Grosvenor Teaching Fellow which is how she was able to travel to the Arctic.

When she’s not trying to locate elusive polar bears, Warmouth is a second-grade teacher at Lynnwood’s Spruce Elementary, part of the Edmonds School District in Washington state. During the evenings, you can often find Warmouth teaching in the Teacher Education Program at Seattle Pacific University. On top of all of this, Warmouth has continued to do research and recently the National Geographic Society highlighted her work with her students on a conservation project dealing with the impact of plastics on Arctic animals.
