I believe effective policy starts with clear communication and a willingness to listen. Bridging the gap between science and policy requires more than technical fluency — it demands openness and an eagerness to understand different viewpoints. I’m driven by the idea that thoughtful dialogue leads to better solutions and that the most impactful policies are shaped through collaboration, curiosity and mutual respect.

- Government Relations and Advocacy
- Renewable Energy Policy
- Legislative Analysis
