Brittney Thompson

Graduate Assistant

Hello! My name is Brittney Thompson and I am this year's graduate assistant for One Book. I'm from Jamaica but have lived in Georgia for most of my life. I have a bachelors in environmental science and sustainability from Cornell University. I am currently in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern in their K-12 teaching program with the goal of becoming a high school environmental science teacher. I am pleased to be assisting OBON in highlighting programming related to the issue of climate change and the many fields of study for which it is relevant.
