Fellow Bio:
Jeannette Lizarraga was born and raised throughout San Diego County and currently resides in Vista, CA. While working full-time and attending MiraCosta College part-time, Jeannette found her passion for urban planning and the policy process due to commuting in heavy rush hour traffic. With a motivation to bring multi-modal transit and open spaces through policy initiatives to her beloved hometown, Jeannette obtained her B.S. degree in Environmental Policy Analysis & Planning with an emphasis in Urban & Regional Planning from the University of California Davis. Jeannette is eager to apply the knowledge she obtained from her studies and experience from traveling throughout Northern Europe to her fellowship position. Gaining hands-on experience with a government agency will greatly inform her of the crucial work that it will take to transition to a fully sustainable governing society in the U.S.
