Sylva is a rising senior at Wellesley College majoring in Environmental Studies. This summer she is excited to work in collaboration with GreenRoots—a Chelsea-based environmental justice organization—on an urban heat mitigation and community engagement project focussed on increasing tree canopy coverage in Chelsea. In her free time, Sylva enjoys playing ultimate frisbee, exploring the city and nearby rail trails by bike, swimming in the ocean and lakes, hiking, and cooking with her roommates.
