Get to
know me

I’m Jenna Santero, a senior law student stepping into the exciting role of instructor for the first time! My legal journey has been an adventurous ride, with environmental law as my trusty compass. It all kicked off in my first semester when I dove into the Appalachian Public Interest Environmental Law (APIEL) conference, igniting a passion that led me to co-direct the very same event in my final year.

As president of the Environmental Law Organization, I orchestrated events and invited dynamic speakers to shine a spotlight on crucial environmental practice areas and pressing issues. My internship at Milberg Law has allowed me to tackle private environmental cases, helping plaintiffs who’ve encountered toxic chemical exposure.

Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to continue this vital work as an associate at Milberg after graduation!
