About

Janay is a third-culture student who grew up in Italy. Her unique experience growing up with multiple cultures and languages has helped her to have a broad view of the world and an appreciation for the beauty of its cultural and linguistic differences. Her daily experiences with pollution and environmental degradation in an area known as the "Terra dei Fuochi" (Land of Fires in English) inspired her to pursue an education and career in the field of environmental work.
