Tropentag 2019 | Filling gaps and removing traps for sustainable resources management | Universities of Kassel & Goettingen, Kassel, Germany, September 18 - 20, 2019 en https://blogarchiv.tropentag.de/node/650 <p>Jess was a Canadian masters student at the University of Hohenheim, and has completed her master's degree in agriculture in the tropics and subtropics. Currently, she lives in Stuttgart far from her home, Ontario, Canada where she fell in love with the "warm" weather.</p> <p>Her interest in agriculture started really early, with her growing up on a farm in Lindsay, Ontario. And after completing her bachelor’s degree in environmental science, paired with a passion for helping others and interest in rural development, she knew what she wanted to do: sustainable tropical agriculture. She is currently searching for opportunities post-MSc and is super excited for the future. </p> <p>This year Jess is both the editor of the Tropentag 2019 team and the team captain. This last comes naturally for her, since she already has experience from her last year, and is looking forward to collaborating with a new, diverse and fun group of people to promote Tropentag to the world.</p> <center> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/tropentag/48744086368/in/album-72157710870828231/" title="Student reporter Jess"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48744086368_7ee199b5f8.jpg" width="378" height="500" alt="Student reporter Jess" /></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script></center> https://blogarchiv.tropentag.de/node/650#comments Student Reporters 2019 Tropentag 2019 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 17:03:36 +0000 Wilms 650 at https://blogarchiv.tropentag.de
