Taught courses on the role designers can have in reducing impacts on human and environmental health.

Internship assisting policy director with research and development of legislative proposals. Met with constituents and staff to help set overarching goals in Brad’s district. Policy areas included ‘greening’ the building code, air quality improvements at ports and safer streets.

Trained youth how to perform energy audits for small businesses, helping provide measurable environmental and financial benefits.

Directed a program primarily focused on the passage of environmental laws in New York City and the US. I managed projects, hired consultants and supervised technical staff. Projects included the development of an Excel-based life cycle assessment tool that quantifies the energy use and 200+ air emissions of products for a Fortune 500 company.
