Student Profiles

Jenah Arsenault

Jenah Arsenault '23

It all started with a high school robotics class—a class Jenah Arsenault took only because she needed to fulfill a computer credit. In the end, she liked the course so much, the teacher recommended she consider an engineering career.

“I started looking at different engineering fields and when I read about designing the infrastructure for cities of the future, I knew that civil engineering was it. At Wentworth, my favorite co-op has been producing a schematic design for a carwash. It covered so many aspects of civil engineering, and I loved every minute of it. That’s the beauty of a co-op—find out if you really love what you plan to do.”
Manny Chalumeau

Manny Chalumeau '22

Inspired by controversies around natural hair, Manny Chalumeau ’22 and a group of friends started Krown, a shopping site for natural hair products. It’s also a cultural hub that encourages Black women and men to artfully celebrate their “Krowns.” Manny sees Wentworth as a basecamp for Boston. In addition to the ample support he’s found at Wentworth’s Accelerate incubator, he’s very plugged into the greater Boston community.

“You have the benefit of big and small at Wentworth, an intimate school set in a big city where a lot is happening. It’s the best of all worlds.”
