About Jenna Handel

I joined the University Advancement team in 2022 because it is a great opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of our student-athletes. Athletics has always been a passion of mine and it is a very exciting time to be involved in Tommie Athletics after transitioning to Division 1.

I look forward to engaging former student-athletes, parents, alumni and donors to learn more about their passions and experiences at St. Thomas and inspire them to give back to Tommie Athletics.

I grew up in Faribault, MN and bring a strong athletics background, having earned my bachelor's and master's degrees in sports management at the University of Minnesota. My husband Michael and I enjoy staying active outdoors – hiking, biking, golfing, playing pickleball and taking our dog Nala for walks around our neighborhood. Our baby boy was born in spring 2023.
