Student-Athlete Presenter Biographies

JENNA MOSER

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

SENIOR – IN TERMS OF ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY

GRADUATE STUDENT – INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS LEADERSHIP

Originally from Colton, Washington, Jenna Moser came to UW as a student only despite earning

12 varsity letters in three sports in high school. She was an accomplished student – graduating

with a 4.0 gpa and serving as ASB President her senior year. Upon arrival at UW, she missed

basketball and elected to become a practice player for the UW women’s team. Due to her

leadership, talent, and enthusiastic spirit, she was added to the active roster during her

sophomore year and played a total of five minutes during that season. During her junior year,

she received Pac-12 All-Academic honors and played in nine games. Jenna quickly caught the

attention of new head coach Jody Wynn and was put on full scholarship for what was supposed

to be her senior year at UW. She led the team in minutes played, became a team captain, and

became a breakout player in the Pac-12. Jenna earned her undergraduate degree from the Foster

School of Business in June 2018. She then decided to return to UW as a graduate student in the

Intercollegiate Athletics Leadership master’s program and play an additional season at UW.

Jenna is a team captain this year and continues to be a leader on and off the floor. Jenna also

serves as the team representative to the Peer Advocates Leadership group within the athletics

department.
