Education

Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies with a Minor in Journalism

I am a passionate environmental professional with experience in energy consulting, journalistic and scientific writing, client communication, and non-profits. After spending time in the consulting realm during my first stint in the professional world, I felt the urge to spread my wings and revisit the writing portion of my educational background. Currently, I am working for an amazing organization in NHA, but I’d like to push further into the Communications realm.
