Undergraduate degree: Georgetown University, Science, Technology and International Affairs, 2009

Prior to SNRE: I was part of Deloitte Consulting's Federal Strategy and Operations practice, working primarily with military clients to help them better understand their energy consumption and identify opportunities for improvement.  Prior to joining Deloitte, I was the Junior Fellow for Energy and Climate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Why Sustainable Systems?: I chose Sustainable Systems because I wanted a deeper quantitative skill set and I believe a systems view is extremely important in developing truly sustainable solutions.

The best part of SNRE so far: SNREds are amazing—I have never met a group of people who are so passionate about making a difference in our world and who approach problems from so many different perspectives.

“SNREdiest” thing she’s done: Fish shocking at orientation is definitely at the top of the list! I've also started wearing a lot more plaid since I got here—I swear, it's contagious.

After graduation: My dream job would involve promoting energy efficiency through both technical and behavioral solutions. I'm particularly interested in helping technology companies craft sustainable energy products that users embrace, as well as how energy efficient technologies can be used to promote sustainable development.
