Brennan Jorgensen wears many hats at PERC. When she isn’t filming or editing PERC Video Productions, she assists in research, outreach, and development projects. She is originally from Oregon and has a degree in Religion from Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA. After graduating she attended pastry school in France. Before coming to PERC she worked as a pastry chef in Bozeman and at a guest ranch in Emigrant, MT. Brennan loves the mountains and tries to spend as much time as she can in them, whether it’s skiing in the winter or hiking with her two dogs in the summer. An avid baker and student of religion and the environment, she is always finding fun ways to combine her interests.
Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
