Ella Ho is an undergraduate in the Astronomy and Planetary Sciences department with minors in Space and Atmospheric and Oceanic Science. Although her main focus is in space science, she firmly believes that Earth is the best planet. She will be working as a research assistant under Professor William Travis on creating future climate scenarios for ecological impact assessment and planning for the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NCCASC). In her free time, she enjoys reading, journaling, and trying new restaurants.
