At Allegheny

Environmental Science, English
I think a lot about my study tours to Yellowstone and Alaska. Getting out to experience a place and learn while being there is invaluable and an opportunity that sticks with you. Also, shout out to Professor Pallant for keeping in touch with his former students and sharing his sourdough starter. I have kept it going since 2012!

At Work

Director, Development, Renewables, NextEra Energy
The primary focus of my role is helping to develop large-scale interregional transmission infrastructure to help connect renewables to populations that need to replace older generation facilities or to address growing energy demands.
