Jenna Radtke

Jenna Radtke brings a background in higher education, workforce development, program coordination, and entrepreneurship to her role as Coordinator of Student Professional Growth in the NDSU College of Business. She has over seven years of experience supporting students through major and career exploration, academic and career development, and preparation for the job search after graduation. In addition to her work in education, Jenna spent five years as the co-owner of a board game publishing company she founded, where she published four tabletop board games, two of which she designed.

Jenna grew up on a dairy farm in rural Bejou, Minnesota, before moving to the Fargo-Moorhead area for college, where she quickly fell in love with the community. After completing graduate school in Kansas, she returned to Moorhead and has called the area home ever since. Outside of work, Jenna enjoys playing board games and trivia with friends and family, singing karaoke, attending concerts, cheering on the RedHawks, and supporting local breweries and ice cream shops.
