Aliya Mejias (she/her) is the Climate Adaptation Science Policy Fellow through the National Sea Grant Office’s Knauss Fellowship. She is responsible for providing program management support and advancing communications of network accomplishments for the Climate Adaptation Partnerships program. She graduated with her master’s in Landscape Architecture from the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). Her thesis explored how the public right of way could better support urban livability through the application of Green Complete Streets, which prioritized people, ecology, and sustainable transportation over car-centric mobility. Prior to UMD, she worked in philanthropy supporting a grassroots environmental non-profit and in construction project coordination, where she became interested in the built environment’s impact on nature and society.
