She earned her Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she also minored in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and Public Affairs, graduating in 2022.

Ivana also plays a key role in the South LA Eco-Lab, a $35 million investment through the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) initiative. She has supported T.R.U.S.T. South LA’s community engagement efforts by helping lead canvassing campaigns, organizing Earth Day community forums, and spreading awareness about climate resources available to South LA residents.
Through her work, Ivana continues to strengthen T.R.U.S.T. South LA’s leadership in land stewardship, climate justice advocacy, and active transportation.
In her free time, Ivana enjoys drawing, discovering new music, rewatching her favorite comfort shows, and teaching herself to play the guitar.
