I created and managed a tailored suite of recommendations aimed at effecting new data management procedures for our energy efficiency retrofit program.In particular, I created connections between our client database and energy retrofit service databases, based on Slack and G Suite, to better position our team in highlighting organizational benchmarks and progress.Although no ‘out-of-the-box’ tools for combining and comparing data existed between these systems, I developed connectivity between them using Excel, Access, and Python.Later in this role, I assumed the responsibility of compiling and verifying invoicing data for our public housing retrofit services with the Finance team.I developed a set of training materials to assist staff in understanding how to properly compile and process invoicing data, along with documentation for navigating future database connectivity issues using Python and Access tools.

I was tasked with translating CCRUN's research questionnaire on the lingering impacts of Hurricane Sandy into the SurveyMonkey platform.I created and managed the Microsoft Access database that stored prospective research participants attribute and contact information.I acted as the survey recruitment liaison for environmental, disaster risk, resiliency, and Sandy recovery experts, policymakers, and professionals. I provided administrative support for CCRUN events and functions.

I contributed research support for C40 administrators in crafting the late-2018 IPCC climate change report concerning the potential for a 1.5C emissions pathway future and its impacts. I composed comprehensive reports summarizing the scientific consensus on a broad scope of climate change topics, focusing on peer-reviewed research articles.

I assisted Built Environment staff in managing commitments by organizations looking to enact sustainable programs aimed at local urban environments. This involved reviewing and updating information on the CRM database.I provided research on public-private partnerships in the water infrastructure industry for a panel on cross-sector approaches to clean water finance, and information on potential speakers for the CGI Annual Meeting small group discussion on domestic inclusive growth opportunities.I was tasked with supplying concise descriptions of current climate articles to the weekly news listserv for staff members and providing administrative support for CGI meetings and functions.

Produced written articles discussing the impacts of urban heat island (UHI) on public health, interactions with the built environment, and existing mitigation options. Provided office and administrative support.

Worked on producing maps for EDF's Clean Energy advocacy programs. Used GIS to analyze the potential spatial correlations between energy generation plant sitings and local disadvantaged communities.
