FRANCESCA EDRALIN - DIRECTOR OF OUTREACH AND MARKETING
George Washington University C’22
Francesca is a junior at The George Washington University studying International Affairs, concentrating in International Environmental Studies and minoring in Journalism. As a kid, Francesca always had an appreciation of the outdoors - in fact it’s on her bucket list to visit all the National Parks in the U.S. She has a passion for climate action, the UN SDGs, and would love to make an environmental documentary one day.
In high school, she was President of her school’s Free the Children club, which raised $10,000 a year for sustainable development initiatives for communities in Nicaragua and Ecuador and she led service trips to these countries. She also founded the “Global Citizen Initiative” in her high school, which she was able to build her school’s first hydroponic tower garden and spread climate change awareness on campus. Francesca is also a recipient of the Education First 2017 Global Citizen Scholarship, in which she was able to travel to Italy to learn about food sustainability and even helped to design an award-winning prototype that was displayed at Stockholm’s Nobel Museum.
At GW, Francesca is the president of GW UNICEF, works as a Community Engagement Assistant for Sustainable GW, and interns at the Council on Foreign Relations in the communications department. During her time in college, she has participated in meaningful environmental service in Argentina, Puerto Rico, and Utah. She has also filmed several mini environmental films that have been selected as finalists in nationwide competitions.
In her free time, Francesca loves photography, traveling, singing, and strumming her ukulele. Formerly the Social Media Coordinator for ThinkOcean, she is absolutely ecstatic to now lead the Global Outreach and Marketing Team!
