Meet Jamella
Jamella is an environmentalist and mentor with a passion for sustainable development, youth empowerment and creative writing. Specialising in international climate policy development, she currently works as an consultant implementing sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation projects in the Caribbean and abroad.
Jamella has always had a love for science and storytelling from a young age. Coming from a sheltered upbringing, freedom of choice was a foreign concept to her until she decided to take full ownership of her life and spread her wings.
After graduating with a B.Sc. in Environmental Chemistry (major) and Creative Writing & Literature (minor) from Stony Brook University, she came across documentaries, such as Cowspiracy and The True Cost, which conjured an unwavering zeal for climate action and the need to pivot her career path towards a different direction.
Jamella went on to earn a M.A. in Environment, Development, and Peace with a specialisation in Climate Change Policy from the University for Peace. Through trial and error, risk-taking and with sheer determination, she has amassed achievements out of her wildest dreams like fully funded attendance as a youth delegate to the sixth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly in Nairobi, Kenya, and an opportunity to represent Guyana at the 2024 UNESCO World Heritage Young Professionals Forum in New Delhi, India.
Having accumulated a wealth of international experience that has shaped her character, morale, and work ethic, Jamella is devoted to helping young girls and women find their voice, explore their desires, and live in their truth.
Born and raised in Guyana, Jamella has lived in the U.S.A., Costa Rica, Barbados, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.
