Rouwenna Lamm is a Kentucky native with a B.A. in astronomy and physics from Smith College in Massachusetts. During high school and college, Rouwenna was interested in teen education and held a variety of positions educating youth about health, science, outdoor-living, and community development. She started working on climate change during her senior year in college after attending Power Shift 2007. Inspired by the youth and adults at the conference, she joined the newly formed Massachusetts Power Shift and planned a climate conference for hundreds of students and community members. She then helped the group transform into a network of student climate advocates pushing for legislative and social change to address climate change.

After college, Rouwenna took a 9-month internship with the Union of Concerned Scientists where she was working to connect scientists with policy makers and the public to increase climate education and push for legislative action to address climate change. She also helped produce reports on the impacts of climate change in the Midwest. Rouwenna is excited to join the ACE team and continue educating and empowering youth to fight for their futures.
