Since 2007, I have led policy and program initiatives that push boundaries and drive change with public agencies, mission-driven nonprofits, and companies across a wide range of sectors.
My focus is on developing large-scale climate solutions. I bring expertise and enthusiasm to:
- Design public-facing commitments to maximize well-being and climate impact, especially through transportation choices and compact land use.
- Create and implement strategies for change that combine public policy, technology, operations, and behavior adoption.
- Manage the practices, procedures, and politics of local government to enable national-scale transitions.
I have held leadership roles at Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) and CALSTART. In 2021, I launched Moreworks to offer insights and support to changemakers.
In 2023, I was elected to the Boulder, Colorado City Council on a platform of climate action and well-being, and I am serving a term that goes through 2026
Over the years, I have worked to drive systems change in numerous climate domains, including transportation and land use, energy systems, industrial systems, natural solutions, short-lived climate pollutants, adaptation, climate finance, economic and political inclusion, technology adoption, and corporate sustainability.
Throughout my career, I have built a track record of delivering results—through member services, project-based consulting, leading cross-departmental and multi-organization collaborations, and advancing new ideas.
I earned an MBA from Thunderbird, where I worked with Greg Unruh, the originator of the theory of carbon lock-in, and a BS in Finance from Oregon State University. I have also served as a Peace Corps Volunteer, trained as a Climate Reality Fellow, and achieved certification as an Energy Manager.
Here are some things I’ve contributed to.
