Tenley earned her B.S. from the University of Washington in 2018, followed by a fellowship at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). She came to the Nicholas School to pursue her PhD because of its positive, collaborative environment, which allows her to work closely with both environmental scientists and medical doctors on environmental health research. Tenley studies how ozone causes adverse health effects. Her research focuses on identifying susceptible subpopulations and uncovering mechanisms of injury using primary human airway epithelial cells. Outside of the lab, Tenley enjoys dancing, spending time with her cat, and hiking in Duke forest.
