Energy Clinician, Vermont Law School - Energy Clinic Sept 2019 – Present o Conducted state-by-state analysis of solar PV technology implementation viability on farmlands, comparing current state statutes and policies that would best apply using Microsoft Excel. o Conducted in-depth studies on statutes and policies to draft documents presenting state programs that have successfully implemented PV technology on farmland, that included Renewable Portfolio Standard, Net Metering, Agrivoltaics, Current Use Taxation and Permitting.

o Presented research and findings on state statutes and policies using Microsoft PowerPoint to audiences of 12 to 20 students and faculty.

o Conducted conference calls with renewable energy clients and state representatives of the Department of Energy, Department of Agriculture and Public Utility Commission to research and verify state statutes as well as learn about what ongoing state renewable energy developments are actively doing in the industry. States worked with included Michigan, Oregon, and Washington.

Energy Management Intern, Faith Technologies, Energy Management Dept. May 2018 – Aug 2018 o Gathered building layout data (electrical, mechanical, steam, etc.) on Excel & Power BI to assess energy usage trends and identify ways to reduce costs through peak shifting to reduce energy rates. o Conducted on-site data assessments to determine opportunities for increased energy efficiency. o Arranged and led client meetings regarding clients’ goals and opportunities to add renewable energy or improve their energy efficiency measures.

o Analyzed data and researched new products in the market to draft proposals for clients to achieve greater energy efficiency on the commercial level.
