I am an energy, environmental, and public policy professional who is passionate about creating a clean, sustainable, and equitable energy future. I currently serve as Director of External Affairs at ComEd, which delivers electricity to more than 4 million residential and business customers across northern Illinois. In my current role, I lead a team that manages ComEd’s relationship with around 200 communities in our service territory. In prior roles at ComEd, I developed and executed strategies related to renewable energy, distributed generation, beneficial electrification, and the utility business model. Before joining ComEd, I served in local government, where I led multi-agency efforts to combat regional issues including youth violence, homelessness, substance abuse disorders, and criminal justice reform.
