I find myself sitting in intersectional spaces where I can explore different fields. I am especially fascinated with the connections between policy, design, technology, and community building, and the impact they have on the natural and built environments. After almost 20 years in the sustainability field, I continue to be inspired by the work of communities and local governments across the country. Through my work with City Scale and through my consulting practice, Lion Advisors for Community and Environment, I hope to help accelerate their progress. This is the natural progression of my career, which has its roots in energy and environmental economic modeling, environmental justice advocacy, city government, and consulting. After more than a decade in New York City, I now live with my husband and two kids in Philadelphia.
