You're in the right place.

My name is Jenna (she/her) and I created Clear the Air to help translate complex sustainability topics into clear, accessible information, and empower youth to transform this information into sustainable action. From climate change, to waste reduction, to social justice, and more, Clear the Air provides offers a toolkit of resources to help you change the world.

I am soon-to-be graduate of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. I studied sustainable development and developed solutions to the biggest challenges facing the world in the 21st century. Having started Clear the Air in 2017 when I was just graduating high school, this platform follows my journey as student that is passionate about sustainability in practice and in their studies. By sharing my academic, professional, and personal experiences, I seek to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to change the world in your own way.

I had the pleasure of working with Jenna as part of the 2020 Canadian Sustainability Conference (CSC). She is an action-oriented leader that takes initiative, thinks strategically, meets deadlines, and communicates very well. As the Youth Engagement Lead for the CSC - 2020 Youth Delegate Program, she was always organized, detailed and passionate about her work. Her contributions provided new, creative opportunities for collaboration between youth leaders and industry experts, which could not have been achieved without her efforts. She was a pleasure to work with and have on our team

I can certainly affirm Jenna's merit as a champion among her peers, who has done, and will continue to do, imperative sustainability, and climate-justice work for the Waterloo community and the University of Waterloo campus. Jenna is passionately committed to environmental sustainability, and makes this clear. She presented on her work with Youth Action on Climate Change to a group of University of Guelph students and her confidence, attitude, and outlook were magnetic. Jenna is certainly a leader among her peers and in her community, not by simply just leading all of the amazing projects she does, but because she is trying to include and collaborate wherever she can. Her empathy, positive outlook, and willingness to get involved is why I believe Jenna is the epitome of a great student leader.
