I am passionately committed to advocating for the power of clean technology to propel Wisconsin toward greater economic growth, energy self-sufficiency, and an equitable energy landscape that will benefit future generations.Born and raised near the Wisconsin border in Galena, Illinois, my strong affinity for Wisconsin was shaped from an early age by frequent visits to its beautiful Driftless region. My academic journey at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville led to dual degrees in Sustainability and Renewable Energy Systems, and Political Science, with a Pre-Law certificate. As Student Body President (2019-2021), I contributed to significant sustainability projects, including a 2.4 MW under-the-meter solar array initiative, campus fleet EV audit, and efforts towards a zero-waste campus by 2035. I also conducted research on pennycress as a biofuels cover crop under the USDA-funded Integrated Pennycress Research Enabling Farm & Energy Resilience (IPREFER) project to harness its potential for a cleaner transportation sector and added income for Wisconsin farmers.My work with the Wisconsin Conservative Energy Forum as the Wisconsin Land and Liberty Field Director, guiding rural communities through large-scale renewable energy developments and transmission work, further solidified my commitment to educating and advocating for clean technology. At RENEW, I am eager to use my expertise and passion to foster a more prosperous, sustainable Wisconsin.
