Ellie Bergstrom

CIEE Staff
Climate Change Mitigation Monteverde, Costa Rica School: Griffith University Australia Hometown: Vandalia, Michigan

Ellie is a Marine Scientist and Educator who has been studying and working abroad for more than a decade now. Although she didn't grow up close to the ocean, she always has had a thing for plants and water. This led her to study both Tropical Terrestrial Plant Ecophysiology and Coral Reef Ecology throughout her degrees. A place where environmental education, outreach, and research are all happening is her happy place!
