Jessica Jewell (USA), Cohort III (2007-2009)

I graduated from Brown University with a degree in geology and then immediately did a year of graduate work in plate tectonics. During my studies I gained a keen interest in systems thinking and got the opportunity to work on rocks from all over the world including Siberia, Kyrgyzstan, and all over the United States. Following my studies, I worked at an environmental and geotechnical engineering firm in Washington DC on geological field investigations and data analysis and presentation. While I enjoyed the technical aspects of my job, I grew frustrated by working on projects that are inconsistent with the growing energy and climate change crises.
