Jancarla works in the energy and environment sector as the Executive Director of Fundaciãn El Llamado del Bosque. For local governments, corporate social responsibility programs, and international cooperations, Fundaciãn El Llamado del Bosque offers innovative proposals and environmental educational programs to build collective awareness about climate change. The company prioritizes taking action for climate change emergencies, advocating for the environment, educating about environmental issues, and promoting the conservation of natural resources. It also actively works against deforestation. Jancarla's short-term goal is to launch a successful fundraising campaign to establish permanent programs that can effectively address the climate crisis. The long-term goal is to make a global impact and establish partnerships with other nations that have succeeded in dealing with deforestation and conservation issues. Coming into the YLAI Fellowship, Jancarla’s top business challenge is Finance, more specifically, expanding the team to develop the programs and have a bigger impact in their community. During the Fellowship Placement, Jancarla hopes to gain a deeper understanding of the enterprise culture in the US and around the world by working closely with an organization that faces similar challenges and promotes innovative thinking, which could be applied to their reach goals.
