Meet the Environmental Fellows

Jada Thompson

Major: Biology on the Pre-Law Track

Class of 2030

Jada is from Sanford, Florida and has a deep interest in mangrove biomes. As a Florida resident the crucial role mangroves play in limiting the adverse effects of hurricanes such as managing storm surges sparked her desire to raise awareness about their importance and help build support to protect them.

As a fellow, she hopes to raise awareness of the services provided by the local environment that many may not be aware of to help foster a community of environmentally cautious people.

Elisa Familia

Major: Business Systems and Analytics

Elisa is originally from the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. Coming from an island, she has a great interest in learning about the best environmental practices carried out by civil society and those promoted by businesses as well.
As an Environmental Fellow, she hopes to contribute to the representation of the Kindness Value by the Hatter community by developing campus-wide tools that facilitate the “Think Before You Throw” culture of waste.
