My childhood in the Pacific Northwest first sparked my desire to protect nature, and it continues to drive it today. At Brown, I learned how finance and economic systems are just as important to the energy transition as the science itself. Understanding how to leverage capital, incentives, and the market can be critical to developing the solutions our planet needs. That realization pushed me toward a dual degree in Economics and Environmental Science, and it's what draws me to the renewable energy industry now.
I was drawn to the program because of the amazing opportunity to build relationships with professionals at the forefront of the energy transition while working with peers who share that sense of responsibility toward the environment. I’m excited to learn how renewable energy projects actually get financed and to better understand the role that platforms like LevelTen play in scaling clean energy.
I want to work at the intersection of environmental systems and economic decision making where policy, capital, and markets shape what actually gets built. While I'm still exploring where I fit in the industry, I do know that I want my work to have tangible impact on preserving and protecting our environment. The opportunity to work at the forefront of the energy transition would be a meaningful and formative step toward that goal.
I was born with an extra finger on each hand!
