Jovanna is a 2016 alum originally from Amherst, Massachusetts, and double majored in environmental studies and sociology. During summer 2014 she designed and led the Restoration Ecology Summer Scholars Program (RESSP) for high school girls in the area. The program was designed to introduce young women to restoration ecology and to give them an opportunity to work in a real lab, alongside other women in the sciences. Jovanna continues to work with the RESSP program, visiting local high schools to recruit promising young scholars for the program.
