Growing up in Cape Breton Jeana was never too far from Western Newfoundland, but her time in Corner Brook has been her first trip to the area. Jeana holds a Bachelor of Science from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her experience in the MAEP program has emphasized the complexity of environmental policy and she is happy to be able to connect and collaborate with a diverse group of students and faculty. In describing her classroom experience she says, “Each student brings a unique perspective to every issue addressed in our courses, leading to some very interesting discussions and approaches to group research projects.” Jeana hopes her thesis research will reflect the multi-faceted perspective required for this field, and looks forward to future career opportunities that blend her natural science background with environmental policy issues.
