Studying abroad in Belize and Guatemala with Loyola’s Tropical Ecology and Tropical Communications courses reinvigorated Environmental Science graduate Jenny Simon’s (BS ’14) love for adventure and international travel.  After graduation, Jenny moved to Key Largo, Florida and became a scuba diving instructor, dive master, and underwater naturalist. Jenny and some friends then spent five months traveling through Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala in order to learn more about the cultures and natural landscapes of Central America. Jenny is now spending a year traveling across Australia, where she hopes to use her environmental skills and experiences to work on the Great Barrier Reef or perhaps on a cattle ranch in the outback.
