Investigated the link between triple bottom-line objectives and outcomes of green stormwater infrastructure programs with a focus on Philadelphia's Green City Clean Waters initiative. Surveyed water utilities in Peoria, IA, Atlanta, GA, Buffalo, NY, and Lancaster, PA to understand co-benefit objectives of stormwater strategies, reporting on outcomes to an external coalition building a stormwater decision support tool (i-DST) that will advance efficient stormwater management across urban and rural communities. Further utilized this real-world utility input along with existing literature to identify realistic and trackable metrics for measuring a green infrastructure program’s social, environmental, and economic impacts.

As a Federal Campaigns Associate for The Nature Conservancy, my experience encompassed a broader set of duties: while continuing to follow and participate in the day-to-day goings-on of the U.S. Government Relations team, I interacted daily with teams that hold expertise in state-level campaigns, project management, digital marketing and outreach, and technology systems. This interaction and collaboration greatly expanded my understanding of a sophisticated and highly-functioning international organization, as well as imparted advanced skills in each one of the categories listed.

I also assisted in TNC's external-facing campaign approaches, including the coordination of national sign-on letters, organization of lobby day fly-ins, and attendance at coalition meetings and strategy sessions.
