I am a passionate and strategic change maker, coalition builder, advocate, and emerging leader working to advance climate change solutions and build an inclusive green economy here in Los Angeles. I currently coordinate the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator’s (LACI) energy initiatives including the Clean Energy Partnership, a network of public and private leaders working for 100% clean energy in the Los Angeles region.
As a former clean energy advocate I have a successful track record of leading coalitions and running campaigns to expand solar infrastructure along highways, go big on offshore wind, promote energy efficiency, and hold polluters accountable. I’m passionate about advancing bold, effective, and equitable policies that make progress toward solving the greatest challenge of our time: climate change.
With a Master of Public Policy degree focusing on environmental and transportation policy and professional experience in the nonprofit, government, and higher education sectors, I aim to utilize my skills of coalition building, advocacy, research, and public education to create a healthier, more sustainable world.
