Destiny Treloar

Destiny Dynella Treloar is a proud first-generation Nicaragüense woman from Miami. She is fiercely committed to advocating for Latine communities, addressing the structural drivers of nutritional insecurity, and developing meaningful solutions to modulate environmental health disparities in her home communities. 

Destiny is a PhD candidate at the Yale School of Environment. Her dissertation research explores the intersection of food poverty, well-being, and climate equity through the lens of Hispanic and Latine communities in the United States. Destiny employs community-based participatory research and environmental justice frameworks to co-create research projects alongside the grassroots stakeholders and communities she works with and studies in South Florida. She bridges academic institutions, community organizations, and local government to translate environmental science into equitable food policy. Prior to her doctoral studies, Destiny obtained a Master of Environmental Science from the Yale School of the Environment and a Bachelor of Arts in Politics and Environmental Studies from Mount Holyoke College, a historically women's college.
