JessicaDaniel2Jessica holds a BA in Environmental Communications (Oglethorpe University 09′) and an MEM in Ecosystem Science and Conservation (’11). Before attending the Nicholas school, she led a YCC crew on the Attwater Prairie Chicken NWF, planned summer events for the National Park Service, and worked in Program Development at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Environmental Health (during the infamous H1N1 ‘swine flu’ outbreak). As a communicator with a background in ecology, ecosystem sciences, and environmental health, Jessica’s interests span a wide range of areas within the environmental field but are centered around effectively communicating science to multiple audiences. In her work at the Nicholas School, she interviewed locals and tourists on the island of Utila, Honduras to better understand their knowledge and attitudes regarding environmental conservation and regulations.
