Nova Karina, a recent class of 2023 graduate of IslandWood’s Graduate Program in Education for Environment and Community, grew up in Brevard County Florida and The Bronx in New York. Their family is from Latin America-Dominican Republic, Paraguay and Boriken and racially diverse with African, Taino, Guarani and European lineage. Nova grew up in a bilingual household which created my passion for learning languages. They feel most alive when they are in nature, facilitating and organizing with community so IslandWood seemed the perfect fit & next step their my movement journey. Nova hopes to continue the revolution. They enjoy baking, taking others’ portraits, dancing and exploring new places.

IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.

While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
