• Completed 12 projects focused on energy, water, recycling, supply chain, green building operations, and outreach• Calculated Zappos’ first carbon footprint and classified carbon emissions as defined by the GHG Protocol • Pitched and gained budget approval from the Sr. Director of Finance and Operations for project to mitigate nearly 110,000 metric tons of CO2e emissions from shipping

Charlotte, North Carolina, Us

• Headed team of graduate students to conduct statistical analyses using STATA and determine which building attributes lead to the greatest changes in energy efficiency for Belk stores• Uncovered opportunity to reduce overall energy usage by 9.1% if HVAC VFD upgrades were implemented across its 296 stores• Elucidated Belk’s maximum willingness to pay for such an upgrade at its least efficient stores and presented these findings to the Sustainability and Building Operations teams

Started my ongoing research project on the economic impact of the environmental services provided by green roofs in urban areas. Developed a net present value model to compare the costs of conventional roof against a green roof given the future benefits of its environmental services, particularly relates to storm water runoff and its effect on sewer systems, water treatment, and sewage overflows.
