Tricia Jensen

Tricia Jensen was a Human Starfleet officer.

History
Jensen was born in 2343 to Catriona Jensen and Robert Bertrand. She attended Starfleet Academy from 2361 to 2365. Following her graduation, she was assigned to the USS Troy as an engineering officer. In 2367, she was promoted to lieutenant junior grade.

Jensen transferred to the USS Pioneer in 2368. She served as assistant chief engineering officer under chief engineer Jasper Kingsley until his departure in 2372. Jensen received a promotion to lieutenant in 2370 and another to lieutenant commander in 2373, one year after taking over from Kingsley as chief engineer. She remained in that position until at least 2376.

Michael McKay
In 2365, shortly after Jensen's transfer, a group of civilian scientists were assigned to the science department aboard the Troy. Among these was a Human astrophysicist by the name of Michael McKay. Jensen and McKay met and soon began dating. He proposed marriage to her the following year and she accepted. However, disagreements about their career paths and future together put a strain on their relationship. Jensen broke off the engagement in 2367.

Jasper Kingsley
As second in command of the engineering department, Jensen worked closely with her supervisor, Jasper Kingsley. The two got on well in their first few weeks together and eventually formed a sort of older brother/younger sister relationship during their four years together: supportive and affectionate but teasing with a hint of rivalry. They remained in touch after Kingsley's departure for Earth and subsequent assignment to the USS Hawthorne

Robert Dalton
Jensen, like many, has a persistent dislike of medical examinations. She flouted regulations when she neglected to report to sickbay for the regulation post-transfer physical after her move to the Pioneer in 2368. This did not escape the notice of chief medical officer Robert Dalton, who tracked her down in her quarters. The two struck up a conversation during her exam, and began spending off-duty time together. A mutual romantic interest was evident early on, but neither were prepared to pursue such a romance at the time, and as of 2376, that aspect of their relationship has not been developed further.
