Originally from the Pacific Northwest in the US, I now work on climate change and renewable energy research with a conservation organization in Massachusetts. I’ve supported renewable energy programs for the largest municipal utility in the country, had the opportunity to help a sustainable development NGO in coastal Kenya, and researched transit choices and environmental impacts in Shanghai.

People all over the world, from my hometown in the US, from megacities in Asia, and from small villages in Africa, all depend on the action that we and our governments take to stop climate change now. I want to help people access, understand, and influence the negotiations, and the behavior of the government teams in them.

I’m part of this project to show the negotiators that the world is watching.
