Ainsley Wright Email & Phone Number

I am a Master of Public Affairs (MPA) Candidate at Indiana University- Indianapolis studying Environmental Policy and Sustainability. I am currently serving as the Peterson Fellow, a unique opportunity through the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs to work with IndyGo, the Indianapolis Airport Authority, and the Indianapolis Mayor's Office. In 2024, I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs (BSPA) in Sustainable Management and Policy with double minors in Environmental Science and Climate Resilience. As an undergraduate student, I was named one of the Top 100 students at IUPUI. In 2023, I was the recipient of the Greening IUPUI Grant to improve sustainability on campus as well as a two-time recipient of the Greg Lindsey Academic Scholarship. I served as IUPUI's Urban Beekeeping Club President for two years, as well as the McKinney Climate Fellow for the Indianapolis Aiport Authority's Environmental and Sustainability Team for my entire senior year. I am passionate about environmental policy issues, as well as using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a useful tool for highlighting issues of community resilience, particularly in Marion County Indiana.
