A UC Davis-trained environmental engineer and Berkeley LEED-certified architect, I lead a team of energy subject matter experts who service the nation’s utilities. My focus is on helping the utilities bolster their infrastructure and meet their ESG mandates. I speak on stages globally and write for Newsweek.com about the future of energy, carbon capture technologies, and supporting the utilities in this conversion. I have served as the Board President for the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) mentoring women and female business owners. I am also deeply involved with the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), Women Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and The sustainable Supply Chain Alliance serving as a board member and/or in an advisory capacity. My mission is to ensure future generations continue to have access to sustainably affordable clean energy, support women in the workplace and ensure a more equitable workforce. I believe in Near Zero vs. Net Zero.
