I am passionate about advancing Dow's Decarbonization & Grow strategy, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, and drive circular economy solutions. I am also committed to addressing the social and environmental challenges that affect our communities, such as disaster resiliency, sustainable housing, and workforce development. Some of my notable achievements include partnering with Capital Area United Way and other organizations to improve disaster response, serving as regional community benefit planning lead for Dow’s recently awarded Department of Energy Office of Clean Energy demonstration grant, and putting together public-private partnerships that address Justice40 gaps in disadvantage communities.
