Emily Nocito
Contact: Emily.Nocito[at]colorado.edu
Emily Nocito, a New Jersey native, received her BS from Stony Brook University in Coastal Sciences (2016), where she predominately studied ecotoxicology, as well as constructed wetlands. After graduating SBU, she went on and received her MS from the University of Maine in Marine Policy (2018), where she studied marine protected areas in areas beyond national jurisdiction. She was the recipient of the Millennium Oceans Prize (2015) and founder of 10 by 2020, a youth-led NGO focused on ocean education and literacy. She is a JFEW Global Scholars alumna, and has worked with the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth. Her research interest include marine sciences, environmental law and policy, international environmental policy and the sustainable development goals. Outside of academics, Emily is an avid baker and has a vested interest in diversity and interfaith affairs, as well as searching for the perfect iced coffee.

Zephyr Sylverster
Contact: Zephyr.Sylvester[at]colorado.edu
Zephyr is a masters student in the Environmental Studies Program at CU Boulder. Prior to arriving at CU Boulder, she worked as an environmental analyst at the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI). At SFEI, she was the field program lead for two, long-term monitoring programs as a part of the Nutrient Management Strategy Observation Program. Her interests center around the growing need for ecological applications of data science as the framework for science communication and management. At CU, she will be assisting Dr. Brooks’ research on a case study focusing on the international process of adopting marine reserves in the waters around Antarctica.

Brooke Lynn Elzweig
Contact: Brooke.Elzweig[at]colorado.edu
Brooke Lynn is currently a junior at CU Boulder obtaining her B.S. in Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Environmental Policy. She's also attaining certificates in Global Environmental Affairs and Renewable and Sustainable Energy and has served as the Lead Intern & Outreach Coordinator for the Inland Ocean Coalition. Growing up in South Florida, she has spent her life by the shore interested in the complexities of the sea and the environmental degradation associated with reefs and marine life. After moving to the Rocky Mountains, her interests shifted and she grew a newfound appreciation for environmental conservation in a political and engineering context. Pursuing a career in Environmental Engineering and Environmental Policy, she looks forward to forging sustainable solutions around the globe and being a part of the next generation of environmental change-makers.
