Name: Dawna Cornelissen
Organization / Company: RH Reality Check

I was raised in the Northeast but now live in Texas where I am a graduate student in Women's Studies. I have a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. I love activism and enjoy organizing on behalf of social justice issues, most importantly reproductive health and rights. My organizing experience includes chartering and serving as President of a reproductive rights group on campus and interning with a major reproductive rights organization. My research interests are primarily reproductive health and rights with a focus on Transnational Feminist activism.
