Jeunese combines her technical expertise with the ability to collaborate effectively, as she has demonstrated through her work but also in our wider and deeper conversations, where she is remarkably adept at cutting through confusion and offering a perspective that assimilates different points of view in a valuable way. She’s great at engaging with complexity, and finding some order or explanation. She is also very empathetic and understanding, in personal conversation and also, unusually, in more technical discussions where it’s easy to ignore the emotional overtones and trample on people’s feelings.
Fabian Krause
MPhil Student, University of Cambridge (2015)
Jeunese was part of the team that supervised me during my Master's thesis. She gave me valuable advice on how to perform interviews, what statistical methods to apply, and how to handle interviewees. This whole field was new to me but Jeunese supervised me with lots of patience and was always able to answer my questions, pointing me at the relevant literature. I really enjoyed working with her as she creates an enjoyable working atmosphere while also being very knowledgable.
