Ambassadors in USA
Carly Johns
My name is Carly Noelle Johns I am from Anaconda, Montana. I am currently a sophomore in Chemistry/Pre Pharmaceutical Sciences at Montana Tech of the University of Montana in Butte, MT. I am passionate about my education and look forward to playing a role in helping future and current students gain access to education easier than ever before. I am currently the Student Success Services Assistant with the Montana Tech Institute for Educational Opportunities. Student Success Services is a TRIO funded program, which supports students with their academic goals. I am an alumnus of civic programs of AmeriCorps VISTA and the National Rifle Association Youth Education Summit. Traveling and politics are my passions in life. In my spare time you can find me researching current events, being with my family (dogs included) and friends. I love technology and look forward to using it even more in my position as a Student and Youth Ambassador. I look forward to working with my fellow Ambassadors in order to find a solution or set of solutions to make education more accessible. Please feel free to email me about ideas and suggestions about topics that should be addressed at the congress.
